Human/Nature Portrait

-




For this assignment, I had to seamlessly blend a person with nature to create a really cool surreal portrait. It was modeled after the work of Antonio Mora and I decided to blend a heavily made-up face with a monarch butterfly because I thought the deep darks of the eyelashes match the blacks on the butterfly's wings.

Cartoon Yourself Assignment

For this assignment, I had to trace over a photo of myself and make it look like a cartoon. After I finished tracing and coloring myself, I did the background. The sky is a pink and yellow gradient, and the hills, clouds, and bars (or are they columns???) are painted and blended. The vines and flowers growing on the bars/columns are clipart from the internet. I really enjoyed this project as it was fun and easy, and I was able to be more creative with it than other projects with stricter guidelines.

I was determined to have tiny people in it, and originally I wanted to do people in the grass with bugs looming over them, but I couldn't find a picture of grass with the right perspective. So.... here is the next best thing I could think of. It was pretty simple to add people into the photo of a fish tank, and then I added the pencil for a better size reference. If you look really closely, you can see a kitten staring longingly at the tank.

Picasso-esque Cubist Portrait

For this project, I had to create a cubist portrait using multiple perspectives. It took quite a while to finish, because I had to find photos with the perspective I needed and I had to position them correctly. The squares in the background were inspired by Piet Mondrian's paintings, because for some reason they remind me of cubism (perhaps because they are squares).
