So I fell off the rid last semester, which was fully unintentional. Here's some of the work I did in my Spring Illustration class.

Colored Pencil on Canson Paper. The focus was to create human faces using the grid system. Taking the same grid and applying them to different faces and bending the lines in ways that create entirely different human forms. 

Our teacher had a book full of character descriptions. This little fellow is a Squank. Their species lives in the swamps and marshes and are always crying because they are so ugly. Squank hunters try to catch them at dawn. When they are caught they get so scared and cry so much that they can turn themselves into tears and drip out of the hunter's bags. Rather morbid, and kind of creepy really.

Ink and Colored Pencil. 8.5x11"
We chose different characters and printed out big sections of color onto drawing paper. The red of the hair and lips, the blue eyeshadow, and the darkness of the shirt are all solid colored shapes that I printed, and then drew all the details of everything over it. 

This was my final for the class. I took the same approach as I did on the Red Queen and printed off all the colored shapes. Once I had my solid colors down, I detailed everything over the top in colored markers.
