Experimental Type epic final

My final project for Experimental Type class! The project is to design an alphabet, and you can do a whole range of implementations - and as you can see, I decided to go more illustrative, inspired by fashion illustrations of fancy hairstyles. This was also my first time working with inking with a tiny brush. I'm quite pleased with this project, it was definitely fun to do. The actual printed poster size is 20x30 inches, giving it a nice grand scale on the wall.

a little life drawing

A random except from my life drawing sketchbook - drawing the figure with scribbles:

Scribbling a figure is really fun, and it just plain looks amazing. I like that loose feel.

(The male model we had that day was a body builder type of guy. It was neat.)

Smokey, inky

Black watercolor with Photoshopped colors

I decided to try my hand at something illustrative and stylized while playing around with watercolor. Didn't turn out too bad for just a doodle, I'm quite proud of it. Though, I wouldn't turn it in if it was an assignment or something. In fact, you might point out that it's imitating alot of other illustator's styles (can't think of who specifically off the top of my head)...but whatever. It's okay.

I'm just happy I can pull off this type of style.

Watercolors

(I meant to make this post last week but the uploader was being slow...and now it works fine.)

Anyhow, since it is summer, I have been bored. So I picked up watercolors lately, and my "practice run" in which I attempted a self portrait turned out really good. So it is now posted on the internet. (You may have seen it already as my facebook profile pic.) I really like it. I want to do more portraits now.
