Induction Week 2



Using our summer project our brief for this week was to pick one of our 10 illustrations and then create 10 of something to do with that illustration; which then would be presented on Friday on size A2 paper.

Here are my ideas:












I decided to use the illustration of me doing my Sambuca shot trick which I was taught during the summer and create 10 illustrations of 10 different peoples facial reactions after having a shot. 

To begin I took photographs so I could use them as reference to work from.
Here are some of the photos that I took: 






Here are some photos of my development work:











Once I had my reference I tried out many different techniques of illustrating my 10 faces. I felt that continuous blind drawings worked best as it really reflected the subject matter well. I used a thick black marker with another coloured marker over the top also in continuous blind drawing. However, I then thought I shouldn’t just narrow it down to peoples facial expressions after having a shot, so I slightly changed my idea to peoples facial reactions to having something sour as I believed that I could get more of a range of expressions. 

Here are some images of what the final outcome looked like: 






In our group crit this time we drew three eyeballs which suggested the best visual work and three thought bubbles which represented the best ideas. So walked around viewing each others work and gave who we thought deserved our eyeball and thought bubbles. I was really happy to get back to find a lot of people had placed theirs on by my work; also, some people left comments saying that they liked the idea of my work and liked the method in which I created it in.
