Design/Illustration Tech 2: Project 4

For the final project in d/i 2 we didn’t have much time left in the semester. I was relieved because life was extrememly hectic at this point and I didn’t have much time to work on this project.

The assignment was simple. We had to pick a theme from garden, coffee shop, or kitchen and create a greeting card-like illustration using a technique that Andy Warhol apparently came up with where you transfer your drawing from one surface to another using india ink (hence the blotchy lines).

As you can see, I chose gardens and went with some things that you might find in a garden. I only made one of them, and here’s what came out:

The only thing I wish I did differently was make the roots and dirt a different color besides black. It ended up being really heavy and took away from the rest of the composition. Other than that, this project went really fast and I was totally happy with the outcome.
