Mary Poppins and Bert Alfred

This artwork is a picture of the popular children's characters, Mary Poppins and Bert. I started with an outline of the people and added in detail to them such as facial features and detailing their clothing, I also filled in a background. I used a form of emphasis called simplicity. I did a subtle background that way Mary and Bert would pop out from the drawing. There was also a use of colors like the pop of bright colors in some of the accents on their clothing, such as Mary's skirt or Bert's elbow patches. I used these principles to make sure that the characters were the main idea of the piece and the focus that draws a persons eye rather than the background. I learned that if you want something to be the first focus than don't have an extravagant background but go for something simple, and to make sure if you want something to be the main point you must emphasize those objects.
