Portrait


The initial idea here is to create a portrait figure and use as a guide to add the details of the open studio. I was able to borrow a manikin head from the fashion department to take a few photographs. These seemed to be a great starting point and feel the surreal proportions added a great effect.









Once I was happy with the angle of the manikin head, I produced a quick sketch of the head and started adding type to the image.



The tricky thing as when laying out the type and keeping the shape of the head as it changed proportion. The details being added are also a rough idea of what would be applied.





I think the easiest option would be to actually draw onto the manikin head, I couldn't return the manikin with words all over it. I could use a human head, but then who would want to... humm?



This seems to be working anyway and may still push the idea.
