Reflection

Now that the keyword project has ended, I would like to take a look at the work that I’ve done and try to reflect on it. I’ve created artworks with some variety of mediums and while I could’ve experimented more, I believe that this is enough for me, as experimenting with more unorthodox methods wouldn’t have been as useful, simply because I’m certain that I will always spend  the most of my time on digital software and traditional means, because I enjoy it very much and that’s where the money is, at this day and age.

The first work I want to take a look at is this Illustrator piece of a stylised solar system. It wasn’t really planned, because I wanted to move on to making another digital painting. The idea to make a solar system illustration came from a Youtube music video I was watching. I can’t recall what video it was in particular, but I do recall that it had some sort of space themed background and I thought to myself: ‘Hey that looks cool, maybe I can make something related to space!’. This project was about your chosen keyword and you visual interpretation of it, so the difficult part was to relate my artwork to the word. Realisation hit me, that since I have to visually represent the warmth of the sun, why not take the Sun literally and that’s what I did. I really enjoyed working on this piece, because it stands out so much from the rest of my project’s works and it was a great practice with Illustrator
