Part 2: Character Illustration

Part 2: Illustrate a character based on photographs you take and your master studies.

You will illustrate one character in three different ways/styles, each inspired by one of the artists you chose to study in Part 1.
You will make two illustrations per style for a total of six illustrations. These illustrations should be inspired by your mast studies, should use your master studies as a point of departure. These illustrations should not look like they were done by the artists from your master studies, but should be inspired by them.

For example, one style may be inspired by your master studies of Aubrey Beardsley. You will illustrate your character in two different positions, or from two different angles in a style inspired by Beardsley. You would then follow this by illustrating the same character in a style inspired by Julie Doucet. Same character, different style. You will illustrate your character in two different positions, or from two different angles in a style inspired by Julie Doucet. Then you would illustrate your character in a style inspired by Chris Ware. You will illustrate your character in two different positions, or from two different angles in a style inspired by Chris Ware.

Pay particular attention to line quality, the expansion and contraction of line weight with in a single line as well as the differences in line weight within a single illustration. Also consider the type and frequency of marks in your master studies.
In addition pay attention to abstraction in relation to "regular" human proportions, to abstraction in terms of accurate representation.
