Obit Project

Semester 2 is here and kicking my butt again. Here's the first Project from Figure Illustration III.

We had to create an obituary portrait for one person from life, and then one of our choosing, fictional or not. Here I've drawn Patricia Van Tighem, a super rad lady who earned her bachelor's degree of nursing, raised four kids, and wrote a best-selling book, all after her face was mauled by a bear. I went a little more conceptual with this one, trying to make the point more about the bear haunting her throughout life, rather than about the wounds on her face.


The second portrait is of my roommate, who makes that face on a regular basis. Mostly I just wanted to have the opposite kind of mood from the other piece, hence the goofy cartoonish look here.

Issues with both of them as always, but I was still lazy from christmas, so I blame that. Moving on.
