Bee-solstice My project in Illustration Using Mixed Techniques: Fantastic Binomials course

This was a really fun and creative way to work with ideas and pictures. I had so much fun while doing this, so thank you Jose' for the inspiration! I began with just words and associations, then I tried out different combinations. When my new fantastic word was invented, I started to look for models. The first drawing of the bumblebee I made with pencil, then with ink, I colored it in the computer. The metal orbit-looking thing was inverted in photoshop. I used different semitransparent layers of color. When I look at it afterwards it may have better with a more realistic bumblebee and not so cartoonish.
