I chose the topic of the LA Wildfires because it happened recently and was fresh in my mind. Additionally, it was an extremely relevant event in my home town, as I am from California. The main characters I want to include in my drawing are a firefighter (or some version of a first responder) and a victim/someone affected by the fires. I don’t want to look at this event politically, I solely want to capture the effects of the disaster. Pronounced emotions in the event I chose include sadness and fear. I want to capture those emotions through the facial expressions of the subjects I chose and add a lot of value to make it more bold and emotional. I also want to use objects in the background to show the disasters of the fires, such as buildings or homes getting burned down, or planes and helicopters quickly trying to get to the fires to help put them out
