William has been with me ever since I was young. I have a children’s book about him and a stuffed plushie of him. I thought that he would be the perfect choice for this assignment because of my connection to him.

         I decided that I wanted to make my design simple because I wanted the focus to be the legend himself, William. I went for a cool tone to bring out his beautiful bright blue colour. Unfortunately, I was not able to do the framing of the text and his name tag the way I had planned, because of poor time management. I spent all my time adding details to William that I couldn’t add any to the frames, resulting in awkward looking frames with awkward lighting. One of many things I learned during this assignment

         I have always been into traditional art and doing William digitally was a challenge. I learned that, although procreate is amazing at not showing pixels, I need to be conscious of the size of my work because when I export the image and put it on my computer it will become blurry. All the time I spent on William’s details was turned into a blurry pixel mess.
