The design I did for the open assignment was an illustration of Egyptian Queen of the Nile Cleopatra. As we all know Cleopatra gives up her life using poisonous snakes when her love Marc Anthony dies. In my illustration I’ve depicted what Cleo would have felt like before taking her life. She appears smiling looking down while holding one of the snakes. I figured she would be happy because she believes that once she goes she will be reunited with Marc Anthony again. The actual illustration is drawn on multi-media paper with a black faber castell pen. I then took a photo and uploaded it to illustrator where it was coloured, textured and penned a bit here and there. The final look I was going for was a polished clean look that was recognizable.
