Independent Project #2

For this project I created a series of photographs with illustrations. I first wanted to combine portraits of people with illustration, but I found these images of New York from my trip this past summer which I thought would better suit the assignment. I started with the tentacles in the last image in pencil. I then went over the line with black and grey fine point pen. I chose to add red to the tentacles in order to stick to me theme of primary colors. The next image is of the roller coaster which started as just the floating lightbulbs. I wanted to add something else to bring in the blue and add more depth to the illustration. The final drawing is of a pineapple. I thought the building looked like it could be the shape of one. I also wanted to find a way to use yellow to stick to my theme of primary colors. After I drew the pineapple its felt a little unbalanced, so I decided to add the banana to the bottom of the image.
