MagicHat

MagicHat

  Line-art project #2 for my Illustration survey class. The premise of this one was to take the word ‘magic,’ come up with an original idea and illustrate it with pure line-art (black and white, no tonal).

  I’m not real happy with how this one came out, but I’m submitting it anyway to remind myself: “Hey, you should do better than this. Wtf is wrong with you?”

LineartProjectForMyIllustrationSurveyClass

  A line art project for my Illustration survey class. The premise for this project was to create 6 separate pure line art (black and white, no tonal) illustrations of various creatures that share a similar theme. My theme was ‘creatures of the ocean.’


  A non-existent-made-up-species-of-whale/shark/thingy...(what? the teacher never said they had to be real animals).

This ones's a Sea Turtle.

 Here's a Leafy Sea Dragon , often mistaken for a sea horse.

  a Hermit Crab. I made a collograph print for my Print Making class with a similar idea, but it didn't come out very well.

 This is a strange species of octopus called the  Dumbo Octopus , they are curious looking creatures. 

 A simple jellyfish. I also did an alternative version of this one with a'bit of color:


  All of these were drawn with pencil on tracing paper, then tweaked in pscs5.
