Hello Everyone!

First off, the official language in Ukraine is Ukrainian, and in this language the capital is called KYIV ( ÐšÐ¸Ñ—Ð² ), not KIEV( ÐšÐ¸ÐµÐ² ) like in Russian. Now that's out of the way, I can talk about my project!

I decided to illustrate for an article about me in an imaginary magazine. So they interviewed me and I got to illustrate the spots for the article. Topic is, Nazuba's life in Kyiv. For set 1 I illustrated items that are absolutely supremely important for me. I am a big fan of the metro and masala chai (I fine-tuned the recipe to my taste) ! So I actually had to find out where I can buy Indian tea leaves which was not available in the supermarkets.

I am sharing my notes and sketches here. I don't have an ipad yet and my wacom pro was away from me so I decided to do the projects with mouse! It was interesting and very time consuming. I am using illustrator and the artistic brushes for textures.

I finished till set 1, gathering courage to start on the set 2 with a mouse LOL.

@Tom, do you think it is possible to get a commission with whatever style I have right now? My style of execution varies widely based on the medium/software I use. Any other feedback fro improvement will be hugely appreciated!

I'd love to hear harsh critiques from everyone!

Notes:

I made a HUGE noun list and treated this as a brainstorm. I chose 4 items (that were absolutely a necessity for me in Kyiv) to illustrate later.

I also learned to catch fish for the first time here, so I thought about drawing worms and fishing baits for set 1, but the number limitation was so good for choosing the most important.

Because I used a lot of whites I used a background to make the images read

Hope it was interesting! Thank you so much Tom for this class, I love your style!
