Illustration: Botanical Project

I'm currently redoing my botanical project for my VC (Visual Communication) application portfolio. The outline to the project is to basically reproduce in pen and ink a chosen photo of a botanical garden, in this case one of the tropical areas of the Calgary Zoo. The student must be able to demonstrate a sense of foreground and background and tonal values. The student must also include 2 inserts of a specific plant int the the image as a detailed study. Fun times!

Original image with a couple classmates in it. Adrian was one mad bro when he found out I took him out of the picture.

I feel like such a studious art student when I look at this photo. teehee
and I love seeing photos of work spaces. There's just something very genuine and honest about the work being produced when you can see the environment it's being created in.
