Your contest themes were always unique and interesting. And all the best to all the contestants in the contests. **Inspiration** When I saw the theme for making a painting using clippings of magazines, I wanted to make something colourful and unique... and along with that I wanted to show some message or a symbol to my audience. So I chose the theme women empowerment and made a painting in my style with no references. ___ **Medium** Collage ____ **Tools used** Pencil Paper - A2 16-1/2 x 23-3/8 in Scissors Gum Magazine clippings Brush Colours https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/artographer/EoCjXB6nCvA57EYXrVjFdvksjtapkSDk7MEoS7PF8wniLRJGAtBi56jQ8EgLQ8XtVXo.jpeg ___ ## How I made the art ## ___ **Idea into sketch** This was one of the hard part of the whole process. I thought of drawing a symbol of a woman rising from the nowhere mixed with a background phoenix. So took a paper and made a random drawing from my imagination. Then I redrawn it into the large canvas with a pencil.

___ **Colouring** For making the forward process a little bit easier, I used some colours on the drawing and painted it out hoping this will help me to get a quick idea of what colours of paper bits should I use in every portion. https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/artographer/EpT5EmdRN127XJoKN9oEfc6zJdzhw1BQHCa3nV3HwHUKid6n9d2ifkaU9BJcLVSKKoe.jpeg **Background making** I chose to make the background a little dark for the scene. So I chose all the dark and black portions fro magazine and cut it out. Then started fixing it over the background completely in steps. For the wide region I used larger cuttings at this stage.

So firstly I went to the phoenix part and collected as many red and yellow clipps from the magazines and made it into small pieces. The I fixed those in specific regions.

___ **Character making-2** I collected some more different colours like human body and light blue and green for the final filling. This time I had to use very tiny pieces of those as the sketch where small here. It required a little more care while pasting and finishing this process.
