From the start, I had no idea what to do for this project. The whole mechanical aspect of it didn't really appeal to me. Every idea I came up with someone else was already doing or something similar to it. I chose to do lollipops because I thought it would be neat to do them because of the variety of colors that they come in. I wasn't really sure how to position them so that it would be an interesting composition so that's why I decided to scatter them and have some of the ends appearing instead of it all being just lollipops. I think that the hardest part of this was blending the colors in the lollipops so that it looked smooth. Drawing the actual mechanical parts was my least favorite part because I didn't really know how to draw them or how to make them look mechanical-like. So, I looked up many reference pictures and was able to come up with what I drew in the picture. The sticks of the lollipops were interesting to do, initially I was going to leave all of them normal-looking and make them all white but then upon asking a few of my peers they suggested I do them mechanically. I did a few to look mechanical and then I decided to change it up and make some white too. At first there were only enough sticks to match up with the number of lollipops but then I decided to add 3 more that you couldn't see. I chose to do orange for the background because it was a nice contrasting color that made all the other colors pop. Overall, I think this turned out well but if I could change something it would be making the actual lollipop heads more accurately and get the scale correct.
