Full Process
To convey myself in an illustration, first, there was choosing comic-style for the theme. Then, came the research on comic drawings and the inspirational examples of that style. The figure pose was something that would’ve needed to work with the portrait style, which often conveys the mood of excitement to its audiences. So, photos were taken of different poses to see which would do the best. Different sketches were made, and then came the digital phase of the process. From the basic shapes and outlines to detailed additions and revisions to the colors and background of the portrait. This project opened my eyes to some of the most practical uses of Adobe Illustrator.
