Illustrator Portrait!

For my illustrator portrait, I took a lot of inspiration from the artist Shepard Fairey. I really enjoyed the bright colors of Fairey's works and I also really liked how he sort of had different shapes of color on his portrait's faces. I tried to recreate those on mine and they didn't come out as clean as I'd like them,  but I still like the sort of depth it gives my work. All in all, I think this has been my favorite project we've done in class so far

Puppet Edit

Overall, I had a lot of fun working on this project.

I've taken some courses at the Ringling College of Art and Design that were focused a lot on creating art and animations in photoshop so I feel like I have a bit of an understanding as to what we'll be creating in this class. From this class, I expect to learn how to use various sof
