barcelona: horses

this is a long development of horse illustrations. it started out with a small sketch that then inspired a sketch for the black and white collage. this turned into the red and pink trojan horse, and finally the more simple blue and green one. the red a pink horse is watercolor, and the blue and green is watercolor on cut paper

barcelona: little red riding hood

a little red riding hood poster. cut paper

barcelona: the emperor's new clothes

an illustration from the children's story, the emperor's new clothes. still not 100% finished. i made a illustrator mock up that perfects all the little problems from the original scan. maybe one day i'll repaint it, or maybe use the digital file to stencil fun textures into the precise shapes. the original, however, is gouache

barcelona: zoo

still not quite satisfied with the finishes. i plan to try one more time, similar to the blurry photo: loose watercolor and strict line.

barcelona: sketchbook

sirens from the odyssey

barcelona: monster child

this project was to make a children's magazine cover with a back-to-school theme. since i kind of hate children i made a little monster instead. similar right? the final is oil pastel on cut paper

barcelona: underwear collage

lol so we had about a half hour to collage a fashion illustration from magazine clippings. made me feel like i was in middle school again, but i actually think mine is pretty funny

barcelona: aquarius

we were all given a zodiac sign to make a fashion illustration of

barcelona: elephants and rockets

this was an exercise where we were given key words that had to all be featured in one 15 minute illustration. the words were: elephant, crocodile, house, garden, lightning, and rocket.

barcelona: the stranger

we were asked to design book covers for a novel of our choice. i did the stranger by albert camus. the final was actually mixed media but i didn't really like how it came out so i never scanned it and i haven't bothered to do it since. but for the process i did two illustrator mock ups to see if i liked the composition in color. in the end this piece has a lot of problems and i honestly don't want to look at it for a long time lol
