Different ways of interpreting a reference image of an astronaut.

Collage/Painting

Note: The final version of this HAS bits of colored pencil scattered around, but I took this photo too soon in the process. Anyway, this is a kind of destroyed city in a way? I like the blue bridge tucked in the background.

Tom Cruise Portrait

I am so reluctant to post this, but here it is. A portrait of Tom Cruise. Interestingly enough, the original drawing I think looks much better. However, I had to copy that onto tracing paper and trace it again onto the final paper you see here. I think a lot of good details were lost in that copying.

Perspective/Marker

This was my attempt to make some sort of abstract 3 point perspective drawing. Personally, I don't think markers and perspective drawings go very well since perspective lines usually have to be pretty precise, and markers are not my strong suit...anyway, I thought it was cool trying to somewhat reflect the scene in the water, while also breaking the 3 point rule and placing some 1 point "cards" you see. I love perspective though.
