Fighters

Size: 13" x 19" Medium: Digital art (Adobe Illustrator) I had to make three portraits in three different styles high contrast, grayscale posterization, and scanner darkly. I had to choose two famous people that had/has an influence on my life or that I had something in common with. I chose Michael Jai White and the UK stunt-woman and martial artist Samurider. This assignment helped me to get more familiar with the pen & pencil tools, and spot colors.

Strong Will

Size: 11" x 17" Medium: Digital art (Adobe Illustrator) This is the high contrast illustration form my "Fighters" piece. For this piece I used the pencil tool mostly to capture all of the irregular shapes. For this I found an original image of Michael Jai White, converted it into a black and white image, than i further increased the contrast to get rid of some detail, leave mostly silhouettes of shadows that defined him. Even though this is least detailed you can still see his strength.

Unsure But Still Going

Size: 11" x 17" Medium: Digital art (Adobe Illustrator) This one used all the methods form the other two portraits I've done and ads color, and more little details. This is the second portrait I've ever done of myself and I have to admit this really shows my progressions as a designer. Years ago I would not have thought this was possible of me.

I Don't Give Up

Size: 11" x 17" Medium: Digital art (Adobe Illustrator) For this one, I converted a color picture into black and white and used that as a template to draw Samurider. I used both the pen and pencil tools for this and multiple layers. This was probably my most difficult piece because i didn't know where to start. However of the three portraits I've done this is my favorite. Mostly because you you can see her strong will in her gaze.
