I morphed a banana and a snail because I found a picture of a banana slug and thought it was a great idea, and wanted to change it in some way to make it my own. To create this piece I started out with a pencil sketch and added in color, value, and several layers with prisma colored pencils. I really like how vibrant and bright I could make the color on the banana, but wish I had made the banana snail larger and the log smaller. I might also change the log to make it look more realistic. Overall, I am happy with the outcome of my banana snail and hope you enjoy it! I chose the acrylic sphere as my most useful warmup because it helped me learn how to create dark and light values with paint other than watercolor. I have never been good at acrylic painting but this warmup definitely improved my painting skills.
