PROCESS
Started with 50+ thumbnails and narrowed it down to about 4 marker roughs. It was challening determing who I am as a designer. I’m my best/worst critic, so it was easy to overthink.
Originally I attempted to paint the graphic featured on the poster, but trying to put together a detailed acrylic painting in less than 48 hours is nearly impossible. Digital it was!
