The Brownies Collection was inspired by the artwork ‘Overpopulation’ as it led to a temporary love triangle between me, the black color, and a shade between cream and brown.
I had been having creative block for a while as everything I was trying to draw wasn’t coming off. So I decided to open a new canvas, try a different color, and just let loose.
I loved the final result and I named it as I saw it. Overpopulation got me so ecstatic that I decided I wanted to make a series related to human beings while restricting myself to shades of only those colors. You can think of the collection as a glimpse into the life of the Brownies.
The next was Eccentricity. I tried to capture unconventionalism while accommodating some humor as well.
Third was Communication. I used different facial expressions and attitudes to convey facial expressions and non-verbal cues between The Brownies.
Next is my personal favorite, Vibrance. I was actually stuck for about 3 days with just the 3 head figures drawn as I pondered and pondered what kind of action I could embody on the figures to increase fascination.
The fifth and final one was Silhouettes, I needed a week to decide what I was going to draw. After its completion, I felt like I had stretched my creativity to its climax as far as the Brownies were concerned.
You never know, however, there just might be more to come from life with the Brownies.
Stay tuned!
