Project 1: Self-portrait

For our first project, we were required to create a self-portrait by expressing our character and personality. We were allowed to use any form of media for this project. I ended up using pen and marker as my medium for this piece.

Design process:

 Fig 1.0 - Initial sketch, black ink pen on A4 paper.

Final piece:

Fig. 1.1 - Final piece for Project 1: 'Self-portrait', pen and marker on A4 paper.

Description:


For this self-portrait, I wanted to put emphasis on the two features that people first notice about me; my red glasses and my hair. In order to achieve this, I applied a few design principles such as dominance in terms of color due to the pop of red as well as contrast where the hair is dark and bold in comparison to the white space surrounding it. I decided to create a composition where it suggests the idea that no matter on what angle or perspective you see me in, you'll definitely take notice of my red glasses and hair first. In order to make sure that the audience knows that all the figures presented are the same girl, I decided to create a connection between all figures through the little white lines. The lines also help to create a pathway for the audience's eyes to flow from the top to the bottom where more details of the figure starts to reveal.
