The Brittany illustration was done for a coworker that was leaving us to pursue opportunities in California, where she was from. The illustration was done to reflect her personality and a sense of Cali.
The rough sketch was done, knowing that I wanted the poster to fit into a typical size frame of 18×24. Concept wise I wanted to show the Frost Tower, here in Austin, somewhere in the illustration but finally decided that it was completely unnecessary since the final illustration was to have signatures of everyone from the company.
Next I drew different versions of Brittany, hoping to capture her personality through reference photos taken by Eddie Vasquez.
Finally I had a color scheme and was able to complete the feeling of the illustration/ California theme.
