Nixon

Last semester our assignment was caricatures and I got Richard Nixon. My professor suggested that instead of going with the cliche' Watergate scandal, I do something positive that Nixon is known for. So this is Nixon opening relations with China, shaking hands with Mao Zedong. So I guess it was a dual caricature. I felt like Nixon was pretty easy to do, he has very exaggerated features. It was a lot of fun working in all the different textures and fabrics.

To Infinity and Beyond

This assignment was focused on using texture. We were supposed to have an animal with a vehicle, and show 3 different kinds of texture. I thought it would be fun to play with the lizard's long skinny legs and have them flopping around in the wind as the rocket shoots upward. I wanted him to look like he may not be in control of the rocket anymore, but I didn't want it too chaotic either.
