Stylized illustration of a marathon race on a tropical beach road with palm trees, mountains, and ocean in the background at sunset.

What to Include in Your Drawing Natural Elements from the Marathon Scene: Palm trees (maybe tilted to show wind movement) Grand mountains in the background Ocean framing the finish line Visual Representations of Movement and Energy: Use dynamic shapes or arcs that suggest motion (like movement arcs, waves, or wind) Lines or forms that express bursts of energy and calm moments (sharp vs. smooth strokes) Colour Palette to Reflect Emotions: Warm colours (reds, yellows, oranges) to express energy, passion, physical effort Cool colours (blues, greens) to show calmness, focus, and stability Abstract Symbolism: Incorporate symbolic shapes or marks that represent emotional highs and lows during the marathon Use colour and line intentionally to convey these symbolic meanings Layering of Elements: Compose your drawing with overlapping forms and textures to create depth and narrative complexity Balance of Foreground and Background: Soften background elements (mountains) so they don’t overpower the main focus (palm trees, movement) Adjust spatial relationships to create depth (placing ocean further back, palm trees closer) Expressive Line Quality and Texture: Use thick, jagged, or sharp strokes for struggle and effort Use thin, smooth, fluid lines for calm and ease Cohesive Composition: Combine the strongest sketches and ideas into one unified image that tells your story See more
