More Illustration final projects

This was my 6th attempt at doing a figure using acrylics which are super frustrating.  They don't blend and they dry too quickly. Argh. But anyway, an excuse to stare at a photo of John Krasinski for a while. :o)  The pants have problems though, my reference photo cut him off at the zipper, and I was hesitant to ask someone in class to be my pants model.  























I picked up a book on Edward Gorey and was inspired to do something in his style.  For the subject matter I chose the wood chipper scene from Fargo.  I think it was appropriate.  The paper photographed wonkily, and that's why the lettering is so terrible. Really.

Illustration History


For our Illustration History class, instead of a test, we had to do an illustration for our final project.  We had to choose an illustrator we liked and I chose Skip Liepke.  I tried, but didn't quite get it right, it needed to be a lot butterier and smudgier or something. Sigh.
