Shirley (Count Olaf)

So here's my last illustration for this first major assignment. Im pretty happy with it!

Rapunzel, Rapunzel...

For our first major illustration assignment, we had to choose two characters out of Rapunzel (brothers Grimm), Count Olaf (A series of unfortunate events) and the Gruffalo. I chose Rapunzel and Count Olaf and boy was it a challenge. We had to redesign the characters with no reference other than the description in the story. It's hard to come up with a completely new design, in fact I would say impossible! But here is my rapunzel, I'm pretty pleased with her! I chose to make her young (about 12) and looking out into the distance, waiting for something, anything to happen. Being 12 and locked in a tower would be uber boring!

We also had to include the original text :) Looking back on it now, I wouldve like to have made her face stand out a bit more, with a focus on the eyes but to change it now would be a mission as I still have Olaf to do by this afternoon!

Illustration for Design

For last weeks assignment we had to recreate a wine label that didnt have any illustrated elements on it. I chose a Brown Brothers Rose Moscato because it had alot of potential and tasted great! The girl you see in it is my friend Kelsey, she's beautiful and I tried to capture it in this illustration :) Im pretty happy with the end result too so yay!
