Robot Rebellion

I recently finished up a digital illustration class that was really useful and also fun. I made quite a few pieces in that class which I think are worth posting here. Right now, I'm only going to post the final project for the class, as it is certainly my favorite project and probably the best work I did for the class.

The image was created using primarily Adobe Illustrator, but with some work in Photoshop (the assignment was basically about demonstrating what you'd learned in the class).

Midterm project, oh joy

So, midterms are here, and it would seem that I only have one midterm this quarter. This makes me terribly pleased with the universe.

This is a sketch, fairly complete, of a friend of mine - who heroically allowed me to take pictures of her. There were a couple which would have worked well for this project, but I had to chose only one.

The project is just your basic "draw a face using pen strokes" assignment. I'm using loose cross-hatching. I'll be damned if I do another stippling project. I'd rather set myself on fire, really.

But since I haven't set myself on fire (yet), I should probably add that I used Photoshop and my beautiful, lovely, wonderful Wacom tablet. As I said in my write-up for the assignment, I feel more confident using Photoshop. Besides, part of the assignment was to trace the image, and I don't actually have access to a good preinter. Or a light table.
