Along with Theater Makers, I made a couple of mock-ups for slides that will appear between segments

The first one is called “Theater in the News”:

And the second is “Final Thoughts”:

After receiving feedback on the mock up of the actress for theater makers, we went and made a mock-up of how the set/stage will look

This is the original stage image we used to create the mock-up:

I began with an outline the original stage image in illustrator:

 I also outlined the figures in illustrator and placed them in scene:

Once we created all the outlines, I placed the full color figures in the theater:

Then added labels and the audience members:

And this is the final we sent to the clients:

 

Another RUS406 project we’re working on is character illustrations. These characters need to be drawn in different views with moveable parts so that they can later be adjusted for poses:

 

Polina is one of the main characters so she is more developed than the first two. She has the ball joints to make it easier for her to change poses, and went through a few changes with her appearance as I kept working:

This was the original design for Polina:

After changing the eyes, I made her into a profile view and created different poses:

I then created sitting poses:

And this is the last version of Polina where she is more saturated and easier to see:

I also went and made a clipping masks for their hair to match Oleg’s character design

This is for Theater and Dance’s new online course called “Theater Makers”. I will be illustrating different theater members from the actor to the producer. This process requires a line drawing and coloring so that we can make a transition from the two as they are discussed:

This is close to what the finished product will look like:

Also for the Journalism course, I made these two graphics for the course’s “Graphics” module:

The first graphic is intentionally difficult to read to show an example of a “bad graphic”:

 These next graphics are depicting yearly oil consumption of each continent using oil drops rather than a bar graph:

 And this is the updated version with the correct barrel number for Australia:
