Thesis Project: Insecurities Series 2

Slitherof Hair 
This illustration emphasizes the color orange representing anxiety and my insecurity surrounding my hair. The orange color emulates the panic and caution my hair has created of what it should and shouldn’t look in a certain style.


Mind, Heart and Gut
This illustration represents my indecisiveness with daily decisions. Even though the color gray is a representation of uncertainty. I decided to go with the color purple. During my research, the color purple represents frustrations if its a darker hue. This particular project, I feel like it gives a light hearted message of indecisiveness to the  project. Almost having pity for the figure. 
Thesis Project: Insecurities Series 2
For the purpose of my thesis project, I decided to revisit a continuation of a series I've been working on for a while called Insecurities. This project consists of self-portrait illustrations exploring my insecurities that I have struggled throughout the course of my life. This project has given me freedom to explore each insecurity and dramatize each illustration. Each one represents a different insecurity with facial expression and body language. In addition, each monochromatic color in the illustration is an addition to the emotion of each individual piece. 

Thesis Process
I will start by creating a list of the themes I want to explore on the related topic. Then, I pick out the related themes for the project and start making sketches for the themes I have chosen. Once I feel comfortable with a sketch I try to photograph myself as a reference for the artwork fimilar refrence to the sketch. Then I use the photograph as a refrence and start drawing.
