For this project we were asked to create a skateboard design and then color it in with markers. Ms. Martin told us about this project on a Thursday, and that night I went home and sketched a mini skateboard design in my sketchbook, because since the minute she had told us about the project I knew exactly what I wanted to do. I have a really bad obsession with the Grateful Dead, especially their infamous skeletons and roses! (I own two vintage t shirts and now an old vinyl with that design) Anywhoo although this design took me forever to complete with all of its crazy details, in the end it was totally worth it. I sketched the whole thing first while eyeballing every last detail, and then went over everything in PrismaColor Markers. I used grey to create some shading on the skeleton's head but for the most part stuck to my color scheme of my favorite colors, blue and pink!
My art was one of very few skateboard designs from school that got taken to the art show, definitely an unforgettable experience. Attached is the address you can find other pictures of the show at:

So here is to you Grateful Dead! You have been the best muse I could ever asked for!!!
Meet Bones :)
