The theme I chose has to do with fall and thanksgiving time so it relates to the color palette I usually use and also I wanted to show a part that reminds me of New York as soon as I see it or hear it. I use lots of bright colors and shades of yellow and orange.

I chose this article because drugs are a social issue and lots of people are dying of it.
I want this illustration to appear in magazines either school or daily. I think students need to be aware of this phenomenon as well as parents.
Through this illustration I want to show the sad truth of using drugs. It intends to make people, especially students, take it more seriously because it really kills.
Thinking process started by hearing and reading about lots of death cases caused by fentanyl, and just trying to connect things.
