Essay on Phoenix

Out of the five inspirational peaces of art my favorite is Phoenix by WhiteRaven90 on devientart.com. When I look at this peace I see a bright majestic phoenix, rising through the hot smock and flames. The artist did a great job at defining the details on the Phoenix it looks like if you plunked a feather off of it, it would burn your hand. Even thought this peace doesn’t have much of a background the transfer from black to vibrant dark red to bright yellow makes you feel like your seeing it emerge from flames. In fact when I look at this peace I can’t help but think of the myth that when a phoenix dies, another one is born from the ashes. I like that they chouse to draw it in this style because it makes us of the bright and vibrant colors and how you can make a digital painting look simpler to a real painting. This peace reflects my idea because one of my characters in my idea is part phoenix (she has Phoenix wings). Also I am doing a digital painting like she did. The difference is that one I am not focusing on just drawing a phoenix and mine is going to be drawing more in a manga/anima style rather then painting.
