Haa~ Well, another class assignment. We were given a piece of clothing (or two) and a colour palette and had to make both of them work for an illustration in a 'difficult' format.

I'm relatively pleased with this (minus wonky facial proportions that we'll pretend don't exist). I'm not so good with digital art so most of this was me dicking around in Photoshop. XP

I got graded down on this because it's done in an anime style (seriously, that's the reason ). I don't know if you guys knew this, but anime isn't art and art is SERIOUS BUSINESS U GUYS. e_e

Never mind that the class is called Colour For Illustrators. Emphasis on the colour theory part of it, as it is a COLOUR THEORY CLASS. Not that style should matter in ANY class, but this teacher is a particular hardass about the style you work in. As my friend put it, she has an idea of what she wants you to draw in her mind - she won't tell you what it is - but if you don't draw what she imagines, she has a problem with your work. She won't tell you what the problem is in critique, but you'll find out you got graded down even if she gushes about how much she loooOOoooves it.

Serious.

She left a tracing paper sheet on top of this piece while I was out of the room with it redrawn EXACTLY THE SAME WAY except in a "realistic" style. How passive aggressive is that?!

GOD I'm so sick of MCAD... v_v
