Job Poster

2nd Illustration assignment. We had to create a recruitment poster for a job...I chose to do a wedding dress designer and I went with more of concept approach, hence the dress maker's form and the floating flowers! The watercolor background was nerve-racking. It was done with ONE wash....the pink with yellow dropped in on the edges then everything was spread around using the don brandes method of tilting the board till its all soaked in. This was the largest surface I have ever done that on! I can't remember the actuall dimensions, but somewhere a little shy of 18 X24. The dressform was brought up using white gouache and the flowers were acylic and watercolor.

Character development

I enjoyed this project greatly! It was for computer illustration class and we had to come up with our own character and put all our process work on sketchbook pages..and make it look believable! I don't really have a sketchbook with leaf paper in it...but I wish I did! These are my little bird characters....I came up with this idea when I was little and I always wondered what birds did on telephone wires. I think they chat and drink coffee.... so here they are in all their cuteness.

Illustration

Our first illustration project was to take an imaginary title of a book and come up with the cover.... mine was "Floating" .

the little bird makes me happy, it only took me about three hours from thinking of it to finish....actually, come to think of it, I don't think its done, but I'm pleased where it is now. The other one I just needed to get out of my system....the backgroud is the best thing about it. :P Maybe I was feeling angst-y that day....
