Typographic Portraits (My name is...)

So for today my learning activity was the very fun Typographic Portraits. Basically, the task is to provide a specific personality as described in the designated areas on the A4 template supplied. If you look below, you'll see what I mean. This is the finished product:

It made me realise that I'm so out of practise when it comes to hand-drawing. All in all I feel it turned out good. Believe it or not I spent quite a bit on time on this (a couple hours at least!). I spent most of my time stuck in my Visual Diary making drafts. Speaking of, let me show you how that turned out too:

** Apologies for the quality of the scan.

As you can see, most of my original designs were included into the final cut. The crossed out parts were obviously designs I felt were not fantastic. And as you can see, I removed the hand/arm from the "Headache" portrait as I just couldn't seem to be able to draw a decent looking arm. Hopefully the final product seems satisfactory. My favourite design was the Chameleon portrait. Had a lot of fun with that one and believe that one turned out great. The only one I'm not particularly fond of is the "Gender Illusionist" sketch. I was stuck on that for a really long time and unfortunately I don't think it turned out great. Too simplistic? Aside from that, fingers crossed it looks ok to you!

I certainly welcome constructive criticism or any comments at all. Don't be afraid. I like to think I'm friendly :) 

See you all next time!
