Self Promo- Week 3 Progress Critique

Thursday — Research, Planning & Feasibility

GRADED PROGRESS CRITIQUE 1

Project: Self Portrait Paper Doll

Paper doll with be printed both front and back. The doll will be based on both my Illustration is my Double Rainbow self promo booklet as well as the Mama Goddess style portrait.

I will be holding coffee in one hand and my illustrating tools in the other. On my coffee mug will be the double rainbow as in the booklet. The back side of the doll will be fully illustrated and include my contact info.

For next class, I'm going to refine hands and feet (make them smaller) and add more details. Once I have front worked out, I will sketch back and figure out where to put the contact info. Also brainstorming what the label on the top should read.
