Book Cover assignment

hi all recently we had to pick a book and redesign the cover of it in a way that hasnt been done before. I picked one of my favorite scenes where Captain Hook and Smee are taking Princess Tiger Lily to Skull Rock and Peter and Wendy are watching on at the top i add John just so i could have 2 sets of 3 to make it more interesting

self portraits

i cant lie, im a pretty big narcissist. it takes me forever to look away when im looking at a mirror. So one of my favorite things to draw are self-portraits. Here are 2 done very recently

Figure 2 midterm

These are the best pieces ive done so far in the 2nd Semester of Sophomore in Illustration.

These first 2 a re regular pencil portraits, both took the entire class period. I used a HB pencil to slowly develop the shapes and values.



These 4 are done in Prisma Colored pencil, each was a 20 minute pose and were pretty fun to do overall.

these next 4 are my favorite and done in my favorite media to find the figure with, Charcoal! I can't help but enjoy this media cause it forces me to use my whole body and to use the tool in various and unique ways.

Enjoy
