The song I listened to while doing this was Alpha by c418. As it’s a Minecraft track, I found it very relaxing. The one thing I know is that there needed to be some sort of plants in this, I wanted it to a subtle but there. While listening I conveyed my emotion from the song to my pen. I knew there had to be a person, so I got to work on a side portrait. I had this on loop while I was doing the whole piece, it’s very slow and flowy, so it’s something I could take my time on, make sure it looked alright and there wasn’t too much stiffness. Listening to this song made me feel safe and emotional, I knew there was no way this would be a normal portrait, so I made it upside down. Gave her no eyes as who would need eyes with beautiful sound such as this.
This has come out just how I wanted it to. As this is a digital piece it was very tame so, for my next piece I will be doing a wilder traditional approach with some acrylic paint and pencil work maybe. I haven’t quite decided yet, but I know what I want to do and what music will inspire that.
For this next one I listened to Goodbye to a world by Porter Robinson. It’s a very nuclear, and with what the world is going through now it’s fitting. It’s a song that has robotic like vocals that sums up the future of technology. I tried to do rough and quick marks and not spend too long on each part as it was a quick chaotic song that I personally connect to a chaotic end of the world with people screaming and panicking with the other half just knowing it’s the end and nothing can happen. 
My third piece I listened to IC3PEAK Плак-Плак (Boo-Hoo). The colour theme of the video inspired me to have the same colors. The feel and undertone of the song made me want to do something quick without really sketching it, something menacing but very clear and almost blending into
Spirals, similar to what the song is about, blending in- so, that’s what I did.
Nowhere to run ; Stegosaurus rex. A waste land with nothing but bloodthirst…
This is my second piece with mostly black and red with white. These colours contrast well wioth how I feel when listening to to music.
While doing this task I misunderstood the task at first as I watched the videos and saw they were drawing whatever came to their mind and for me, I drew what came to mind roughly in the time of the video length. The first one I had on repeat to really feel the emotions of the song and started to draw what comes to mind. I don’t do well drawing what I’m feeling with patterns, I most likely have to draw whatever I think off, may that be an animal or a human, yet even a place, I need to draw it, sketch it and see what im doing, that’s where I get most of my emotions and ideas from, just listening to one genera of music while sketching and lining.
