Fly Beijing Olympics

do full view. I assure you it's worth it.

Finally! It's here! A little late huh. XD

I completed this in May and really rushed it at the end. How did I come up with this? Honestly, I don't know. I just...did. I liked the idea of the Olympics giving Beijing and China a chance to show the world what it's capable of. Hence the flag amidst the flame.

It was for a competition by One World Calder Organization and later my drawing teacher put all his students' olympics work into a gallery which was broadcasted on TV. (I was on TV twice for this!) It was selected and I got to go to Beijing! Unfortunately, I left before the Olympics even started but it was a great experience.

Media: Charcoal (of course), Chalk Pastel (which I really don't like using...it comes off the paper really easily, maybe I'll stick with color pencil), White charcoal (it's nice and hard haha), and some color pencil

I hope you guys will like it as much as I do!
Cheers! Jackie

edit: Here's the pre-sketch that I did. It's kinda different but similar style and same elements. [link]
