Content

In the first picture, facing the endless studio folio2, the mannequin rests hand-drawn screen and covers his face. He left a pool of tears and a lot of tried tissues by his side.

In the second picture, I want to express an overtime employee working late at night. He wants to relax himself due to work pressure, so he imagines his desk as DJ turntables and himself as DJ.

Response

In the first picture, the little mannequins were the reference I used to modify the movement of the characters in the animation. When I looked at so much of the movement that needed to be changed, my heart broke. So I made a motion and took a picture of him. Then I drew tears, tissues and scarves in photoshop to add emotion to the little mannequins.

In the second picture, I tried for the first time to draw the dark environment and the obvious source of light. It was also the first time for me to try different illustration steps, which I learned in an illustrator's online course. First, I used black as the background. Next, I found an illustration of the color I wanted as the background, and then I used this illustration as a blur effect and removed the details. Then I started sketching on top of that foundation. My DJ's imagination comes from a variety show I saw called 'Produce 101', I like this performance and used it in my illustration.
