The portrait even though its appearance does not look like me but, The physiological/inner ‘illustration’ part does (Like the emotion) .
It represents a once trapped but released environment. As you can see in the poster chains attached onto the body is breaking away. The shadow on the right side of the poster resembles emotion. You were once trapped by it when you were small. But now the chains that bind you and hid you from everything is breaking. Only half of the body is in shadows now.
After this project I have learned that choosing an attainable and practical to reaching the project deadline. This would allow me to focus on the quality of the work rather than attempting to cram to much stuff into it/
I was able to successfully illustrate and complete the poster which only several minor aspects was not attached to the project. The biggest success was this knowledge that I gained about the pen tool. The repetitive tracing gave me ample opportunity to learn and master this technique with action.
Hi Lucas, well done for catching up on this task. You really dove into a specific style for the illustration which I applaud, but it may have set you back in terms of time to complete the overall outcome. Can you please email me a full-size PDF of your poster so I can print it?
