Illustration 2, Week 2

Creating a font isn't as easy as it seems, especially when trying to come up with something new and creative. With that being said, it's also a challenge to create a font and create a gradient mesh portrait in five days. The font I created is pretty basic and simple; it's actually my handwriting, which I personally think makes it unique in itself.


Ah, the gradient mesh portrait. I can honestly say that I spent 80% percent of my time working on this project, and I'm quite glad I did. It was my first time working with the gradient mesh tool and I'm pretty satisfied with the results, but I'm always looking for ways to improve it.

It's ironic that I actually enjoy illustrating when I say I can't do it. Perhaps it's the perfectionist in me that pushes to the point I want to rip my hair out because I can't fix that one little flaw that no one will probably even notice.

It's now a new week with two completely new projects, and I have some brainstorming to do.

じゃね。
