Another one of Gary Taxali’s assignment for my illustration class: create a human right’s poster for the Green Movement in Iran. My original concepts weren’t working. After sketching and sketching, I came up with this concept:
The night before the deadline, I decided to scrap it completely … too cliché … to ominous, and not really digging that face. After brainstorming with my sister, I decided to go for something simple:

My sketchbook with tantalizing oatmeal pages has been poorly neglected lately in favour of my hand*book for the current contour drawings I’ve been doing. Still, here are a few drawings from months ago I’ve been meaning to post:
An illustration for the topic “Bribery” for Gary Taxali’s class that didn’t quite work out … gluttony perhaps? Or maybe it’s a trap buried in cherry cake generously presented to you by Batman.
Happy belated New Year! I’ll try to update as much as I can and get back into the swing of updating. I’m also starting up a sketch group with a couple friends so I’ll be eagerly uploading our studies and assignments each week. Will they be fun and exciting? Perhaps not.
Also my birthday is coming up. :D
Now for something crafty: This is the birthday/Christmas present I made for my sister which is her hipster self equipped with dirty macbook, keyboard, polaroids, mustache and attachable cardigan. Oh and a photobooth for kicks.
