Illustration 251 - Gouache painting

These were my first real attempts at painting. Some are more successful than others, but I'm happy overall with how everything turned out.

Book Illustrations, Fall/Winter 2008-2009

I was asked by the Second Counselor in my student ward at the time to do a series of drawings based off of childhood stories and experiences shared by his family, particularly between the mother and her children.

The majority of the work was done in Photoshop, actually during the same semester when I was first learning to use it. After a lot of late hours doing initial sketches, caricatures, layouts and scanning (not to mention the labor of staring at computer screens for unhealthy spans of time), these were the result.


They're far from perfect (i.e. note the awkward white spaces that were left for text), but they were a lot more than what I was asked to do initially... which in hindsight means I really just made the whole project difficult for myself for no real reason.

The following are some of my pieces created during last year's Freshman Foundations courses, including Two-Dimensional Design, Drawing, and Survey of Digital Technology.

This is actually an altered image taken from two
still life drawings layered on top of each other.

A poster design of a particular location of
some significance--I served half of my mission here.

A still life assignment using objects
that essentially form a "self-portrait."

If you speak French it's funnier...
