Drawing Art with Magazine Clippings: Risen From The Ashes // by @artographer | #club5050
Risen From The Ashes
First of all, thanks to the Draftcrearte community, and moderators especially @crearte, for conducting a contest like these. Your contest themes were always unique and interesting. And all the best to all the contestants in the contests.
Inspiration
When I saw the theme for making a painting using clippings of magazines, I wanted to make something colourful and unique... and along with that I wanted to show some message or a symbol to my audience. So I chose the theme women empowerment and made a painting in my style with no references.

Tools used

How I made the art
Idea into sketch
This was one of the hard part of the whole process. I thought of drawing a symbol of a woman rising from the nowhere mixed with a background phoenix.
So took a paper and made a random drawing from my imagination. Then I redrawn it into the large canvas with a pencil.
Colouring
For making the forward process a little bit easier, I used some colours on the drawing and painted it out hoping this will help me to get a quick idea of what colours of paper bits should I use in every portion.
Background making
I chose to make the background a little dark for the scene. So I chose all the dark and black portions fro magazine and cut it out. Then started fixing it over the background completely in steps. For the wide region I used larger cuttings at this stage.
Character making-1
Now it came the time to paint the characters in thene with these paper clipps. So firstly I went to the phoenix part and collected as many red and yellow clipps from the magazines and made it into small pieces. The I fixed those in specific regions.
Character making-2
I collected some more different colours like human body and light blue and green for the final filling. This time I had to use very tiny pieces of those as the sketch where small here. It required a little more care while pasting and finishing this process.
Now I took some more papers and cut it into different shapes of different letters, inorder to make the draft create card,...and I finished it successfully too.
Final Figure
My last 50% powerup with the recent rewards, for the #club5050 team up.
I hope that was enjoyable
