SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: Digital illustrations can adjust to any size. TAGS: Figure Illustration, Portrait, Human Emotion, Procreate, Visual Data RESEARCH ABSTRACT: This series captures the essence of human experience across different eras. The methodology involved studying historical and contemporary facial expressions and features and translating these into illustrations. Data was collected from various historical, artistic, and cultural sources. The research tools used included traditional sketching tools and digital software like Procreate. The insights gained have a deeper understanding of how portraiture can encapsulate the human experience. CHALLENGE: The main creative challenge in the "Figure Portrait" series was representing the essence of human experience across different eras through portraiture. Balancing technical proficiency with emotional resonance was an internal obstacle, requiring a deep understanding of illustration techniques and human emotions. Externally, keeping the designs relevant and engaging for a contemporary audience while drawing inspiration from various historical and social contexts was challenging.
