Rethink Process:Part 2

Illustrator time!

Rethink Process

So we have this grad project to illustrate a stat about our class. My stat was that 93% of us like drawing in 2D and 7% like drawing in 3D. I chose to do the 2D part in collage and pen and the 3D part using photoshop and illustrator. I thought a violin would be a good metaphor to use and the bow next to it to signify the percentages.

Process: Part 1

Characters

So here are a three new pieces from a character assignment for school. We had to illustrate a number of characters from a list so here's my avitar, nonna (italian grandmother), and hipster. The last is a a girl on the metro wasn't for any school assignment but I wanted to try using blue face tones....don't ask me why, I just woke up today wanting to play with colour :)

(From the top down) the first was from a small black and white photo of a man smoking. There was something about his look that was really intriguing so I thought I'd use it as inspiration for a piece. The second is a sketch of my mom. One great thing about holidays at my parent's place is that there are always people around to doodle. I also had some fun with the baboon image, i just had to draw him when I saw it....it's the super intense eyes....a little creepy. The last image is more narrative depicting the tortoise and the hare in Aesop's fable. I like how the sketch turned out so a final piece is in the making.

And a belated happy holidays to everyone following!

Narrative Illustrations

I illustrated these during the semester for my Narrative class. The first one is titled "do as I say, not as I do" and the second is on the theme of memory.

Self Portrait

So I decided I was due for a self portrait after my very last critique of the semester. I think this captures a likeness but I think self portraits are the most challenging pieces for illustrators to draw.

New Sketchbook Stuff:)

Here are a few ink, pencil and collage pieces from my sketchbook. I had a lot of fun with these:)
