I attempted to focus on creating an iconic logo for the conference. I was taken back to my Sesame Street days….This project brought to you by the letter R.

4. Illustrator-Realistic, with Emma and Ashley

My progress photo is a bit scary with the place holder eyes and mouth, but I think it’s coming along! I tried to focus on overlapping shapes and playing with opacity, thinking about how I would generate this image if I was actually watercoloring it. Therefore, I have a lot of overlapping shapes with different opacities and a few gradient shapes where I had imagined the pigment in the water diluting as I “painted.” This is most evident in the forehead area. I’m still working on achieving a consistent technique within the rest of the face.
