Psychological EvaluationThis project was based on our own psychological journey through a story. It was cool. One scene was that of a cup dangling from a long vine. When I touched it, it shattered right before my eyes.

As hard as she looked, she could find it nowhere...In this assignment, every student had to pull our a random tag line from a bin, and illustrate it. Perspective was used to emphasize the rabbit on the ceiling fan, showing how close it was, yet still far away.

CaricaturesThese exercises caricatured famous political figures using a brush pen. Features were exaggerated to simply the faces, but still leaving each recognizable.

24 25

Marker ExercisesThese exercises were to practice and utilize the marker as well as reinforce color theory. The three shown here are complementary, primary, and monochromatic.

26 27

Marker ExercisesThese marker exercises were done within a short period of time (15-20 minutes, or even less). As the exercises progressed, colored pencils were added.

28 29

Portrait QuizStudents were to take a photograph of themselves, only showing a portion of the face, and were to use it to render with marker in a short amount of time. A complimentary color scheme of reds and greens were used.

30 31

Character DevelopmentThroughout the course of Cartooning, each student was to develop a character; a hero or a villain. Archetypes were discussed, and character sketches were created.

32 33

Trading Card Image / Conflict With the developed hero (or villain), students were to create a trading card image (top) and a scene where his/her character were fighting.

34 35

Pirate Series - Pirate GirlThis illustration was originally done as an avatar for the Facebook group Skuuurvink! However, it was expanded into a series, as follows in the next pages.

38 39

Pirate Series - Piggy This illustration became the second addition to the pirate series, with big henchmen pig serving as a clue to as how the first girl ended up in the box.

40 41

Pirate Series - Robot PirateThis illustration became the third and final addition to the pirate series. A cold and calculating looking pirate serves as the villain to this story.

42 43

Hair Series - ProcessFor this assignment, an illustrator was chosen and his/her style emulated in some way (such as color, line quality, etc.). The illustrator chosen was McBess, and the theme of hair was used to unify the five characters together.

44 45

Hair Series - ProcessSince McBess’s style consists predominantly of black and white ink work, the rapidiograph was used. As this would later be incorporated as part of a package design, frames were added to unify the set.

46 47

Hair Series The final ink work of the hair series, done in 5x7. The backgrounds were further developed to emulate McBess’s style further, as well as to provide each character with his/her own environment.
