Day 88 - Baseball Player
I wanted to do a cartooning study, and because the theme was baseball player poor Jackie Robinson got to be my guinea pig.
rofl I have issues making my images more abstract and less realistic... basically I'm stuck in a style. I felt like I could work on this by copying other styles, but I also wanted to see what I would come up with by myself, without looking at another person's work (for the most part). Focus was on simplifying while still maintaining at least a vague likeness (I wanted him to at LEAST still look African-American) and emotion. I could have picked a more distinctive looking person, but I feel like Jackie Robinson was a good medium.
This was enlightening, to say the least. To be really complete I should have drawn the photo-realistic picture... but ehhhhhh.
