Self Portrait

S E L F  P O R T R A I T 


For this project I created a self portrait of myself. It was challenging at times because while I was used to the layering system that digital art programs have, it was frustrating to have to draw in shapes rather than strokes. I started with the hair which I think is one of the better parts. I included lots of colors because if I paid for my highlights I'm definitely going to show them in the portrait. I was having trouble with the shading and so I just decided to go for a more old school comic book style shading (hence the large black parts and lines like from Marvel or JJBA).

I've personally been focused on learning digital drawing software and practicing my own d...

I kind of made it by accident by messing around with the pen tool, and kind of sat in the back of my mind as a favorite (I think also because I accidentally got that perfect symmetrical shape in one go). It was fun to play around and discover the different toolsets you could use!

Personal Logo Research

P E R S O N A L   L O G O For the first one I was experimenting with different fonts and how they interact with each other. I tried to move things around and rotate them for variety.  This art board was about images relating to ourselves. I used adjectives and found images to represent my interests and self before further experimenting. The third one was starting to combine the previous two into create logos with shapes and my initials.
