Individual Iterations

Contuor line iteration - This was a simple little drawing I made, one out of five of my original sketches. I edited it in photoshop and gave it gray tones and increased the contast of the linework, because I drew this in pencil.

Collage iteration - This was one of my original five that I did. I liked this one, because it looked the most liked “Platapus” and I thought it looked funny. I think it looks better in color, but my final product had to be in grayscale.

Botero (master artist#1) iteration - This was not my greatest piece, mostly because I was unfamiliar with the medium, and I felt overwhelmed with the quaility of the end result.

Geometric iteration - This iteration was not the most “unique” concept out of my iterations, but I liked the origami’s simplicity, and I made the background a little more special because I didn’t want just to use a plain grey background, so that’s why I had the idea to make it look like it was submerged in water.

Masereel (master artist #2) iteration - I think I liked how this one turned out in the end, despite me still believing that this one could have been improved a bit more. It doesn’t quite look comparable to Masereel’s work, and I think the fur could use a little bit of a redraw. Otherwise, I think the rest of the drawing went well. This was done in Sharpie instead of a wood engraving like Masereel would have done it in. I just didn’t have access to the materials.

Typographic iterationThis one’s not too special, except for how I used the “U” for the platypus bill. I chose this one over the other one because this one was more aesthetically pleasing to me.
