Final Illustration

Poster

This is my world record poster. In case you can't tell I did eyeball popping. I originally like the idea of the number of spoons on a face, because of an inside family joke, and also this eyeball popping because I thought it was interesting and would be fun to do. I thought it would be funny if the world record hold, on the left, and the man practicing to take over the title, on the right, were having a stare off while their eyeballs were popped. I made the decision to put the measuring tape in the background to add some extra color. I used gouache for the painting using the pick-out technique on the faces. I had some trouble removing too much and trying to add the shadows back in. I was happy with the overall effect that the method gave the painting. I added the words on the poster version in InDesign after I took a picture of the painting. I ended up doing the painting larger than the final size and chose to have the poster with the names showing that they are going to be battling to see who can pop their eyeballs the furthest.
