Self-Portrait Project

Finally finished my self-portrait project for class. The assignment was to choose yourself or someone else and fill a silhouette of them with a background and icons that describe who they are. I thought doing myself would be easy (WRONG). Went with an Alice In Wonderland theme and a serious elegant/regal tone for the project. I really love how the background elements came out, but I wish I could go back and redraw the icons to match more...no more time though lol. But for that I attached a version without the icons.

Color Palettes

Still working on the self-portrait in my digital illustration class. For that, playing with some color palettes. For the theme of my portrait I'm going with Alice In Wonderland, and thus I wanted the color scheme to kinda reflect that either through elegancy or whimsicalness... ideal a balance between those two.

Timed Sketches

With the recent high load of homework I've been experiencing, it's been forcing me to push out quicker sketches. But to make something good out of a crappy situation, I've been practicing my speed sketch abilities. These are two of the better ones that came out from it. Both were done under an hour.

WIP Background

In class working on a background for a project. Really abstract.

Copic Portrait Sketch

Recently I've been trying to get better at working with Copic markers (especially since they tend to be the go to medium for con-sketches & commission work). In that regard I've been drawing some portraits from reference, all the while practicing drawing guys at the same time. Here is the latest one I completed using: cold grey Copics, a white Prisma color pencil, and a white gel pen. Unfortunately my scanner isn't the best... so a lot of the tones got flattened.

Pictogram Classwork

Quick golf pictogram I did for classwork. Guy came out a little bubbly and the pose is a bit boring... but hey it was a 15 minute assignment.

WIP Silhouette

For our first project in digital illustration class we are doing portraits, first step is the silhouette. Here is the work in progress of my self-portrait silhouette.

Digital Art Dump

Since I did an art dump a few days ago, it dawned on me I didn't show any digital art that I've done... so here is a  digital art dump. Now I haven't done too much digitally, really just playing with vector art.
