Midterm Portfolio

Here is my midterm portfolio. Took me a bit to get it all together but here it is. Overall I am happy with it. I never have been great at watercolors so those were definitely the biggest challenge to get up to par. So here it is.

First up are 2 of my best 10-a-day line-art illustrations. Line art is what I am most comfortable so these were the easiest for me. Even though they took a bit longer than watercolor, I still feel like I know what I am doing a little more. I had a few decent line arts but these 2 got the best response.

Next up is my 2 best 10-a-day watercolor illustrations. I did not have as many decent ones of these, but I thought these were alright. I tried to do quicker abstract ones, which turned out a lot of bad ones but produced a couple decent ones.

These are 2 of my best line-art and watercolor illustrations. Again, I tried to be more abstract and experiment on these which did not work a lot of the time, but I thought these were kind of interesting. It was kind of a fun process, definitely better on the small scale when its not nearly as bad if you mess up your line drawing.

Next up is my best digital version of anything I have done. Going into this I did not think it would turn out since I had no experience on a tablet, but in the end I really like it. It was kind of nice being able to Command - Z your mistakes away too.

Here is my best Facebook illustration, and it is approved (on the back). This one I mixed line-art and watercolor. I think the line-art is a lot stronger than the watercolor, but I still think it works. Even if it was a mercy approval. Plus its got a dirt bike in it, thats always a plus.

Then there is my product illustration. I actually had a decent watercolor one too, but I always end up going with the line-art. I like this, spent a decent amount of time one it. Also got that approval baby. Its of a watch that tells two times in a weird way if you are confused. I don't know...it looks cool when I where it.

And finally the open category. For this I choose my 20 x 30 watercolor, of course of a tractor. That is all I have pictures of it seems. But I definitely spent the most time on this, but at least I like the way it turned out. The background was actually the hardest part for me since I had no idea what to do, Rusty was nice enough to help me though.

So there you have it. My midterm portfolio. Now no more illustration until the night before the final portfolio, right? On that I am rolling out of K-money. Take it sleazy, and I'm out.
