Editorial Illustration, Part III (Moodboard)

This is a rough mood board that I came up with for the first concept.

Self-Portrait, Part V

As of week 4, this was my final illustration. Reflection below was written after class.

Self-Portrait, Part IV

I had a speed bump during my illustration process, and so had to go back and revise the way I render my figures. I tried rendering in an even more detailed way, which was sadly not adding value to the composition. It was too refined and too ‘shiny’ for the raw ugly (in a funny […]
