Amazing Animals
Client: Student Project / Role: Production Artist / Size 5 x 5 in / Software: Adobe Photoshop CC 2024 & Adobe Illustrator CC 2024'
For this project in my Design Thinking course, we were assigned to choose a random animal to base this project on. Finding a reference image to base all of our designs on, creating a realistic encyclopedic drawing, along with several gesture drawings, logos, and transformation illustrations.
Reference Image
For this assignment I decided to pick a bird, specifically a Hummingbird, with this being the realistic reference image I chose to use throughout this project.
Realistic/Encyclopedic Drawing
This is the result of my encyclopedic drawing. For this portion of the assignment, we drew our reference image on a Bristol board using the graphite transfer method (coloring in the back of the paper with the reference image, then putting it on the board and tracing it to get the outline and features).
Logos
During the course of this assignment we were assigned to create a numerous amount of logos, choosing one to later clean up in Adobe Illustrator and present to our peers, with this being my final design.
Gesture Drawing
After creating a generous amount of gesture drawings, with them being a range of ten seconds to a whole minute. Out of the 20+ drawings, this is the one that I found myself liking the most, as I feel this one captures the shape and look of the Hummingbird best.
