For this project I created a snapshot of a flooded street drain covered in leaves; I call it Drowned. My goal was to express the fact that nature will always survive even once humans are gone. This piece is one of a few that work toward my goal. To convey my goal I explored drawing and painting in Photoshop. I had done very few illustrations in Photoshop in the past, and the ones that I had done were all minimal. Photoshop is the program that I was least acquainted with, however through this process, I learned to use many of the tools. I chose digital illustrations so that I could create a scene that would reveal to the audience exactly what I imagined.
