Digital Illustrations:
Creating 3 panels illustrations   

This project opened my door of interest in the fantasy imaginative category and the decorative category. I have chosen deer as my subject matter because it never fails to entice my attention by giving it a distinctive and mysterious sense of feeling.

1. Simplify

2. Decorative

3. Cartoonlike

4. Fantasy Imaginative 

5. Robotize/ Mechanize

6. Expressive 

The final process

The design of the illustration leans toward traditional Japanese art forms. Therefore, the waves are illustrated as such and are complemented by the Sakura flowers, temple, and mountain. The main subject involves the head of a deer and the body of a fish. The main color consists of Sakura pink and blues to deliver a warm and comforting emotion.

The design of the illustration takes the mystical and fantasy approach. The main theme revolves around the concept of eyeballs, thus various eyeball visual elements can be found in this illustration.

The design of the illustration emphasizes on the robotic approach and the concept of illusion. The outcome was produced through mixed media that involves watercolor painting and digital painting. The watercolor medium was used to create the background to induce a turbulence feeling.
