Gettin' Emotional

Another two emotion pieces, based on roughs from a previous class.

The first one is titled "Frustration", and I can definitely feel it emanating from it. This is the second attempt at this particular one and I'm glad I didn't just go with the method I was going to use. See, in the original two I traced the line work in Illustrator, using the brushes therein to create different line qualities- I also did that on the second set. When I started "Frustration" the first time I was just using a tablet to trace the line work and the results were just plain sloppy.

Today while on campus downtown I took a few minutes to use Illustrator for the line work- definitely a big difference.

The second and third are the same piece, "Creativity", one with the color layer turned off. I finished it off with the circles and swirls colored, but went and turned them off out of curiosity and was intrigued with the result. I like it both ways. ^_^ I'm going to have to go back and adjust the glowing circle, though. The fact that it's almost off the edge of the format throws the piece off a bit.
