This is the piece I added to my Behance page. I appreciate feedback on how it is structured, whether my process is clear or not, what I do right, and areas of improvement.
I think the entire project is very sweet! We can see that you're a fan of Taylor and how much love and effort you put into these drawings. The colors make sense and I loved that you organized the fanarts into a mockup of a book cover!! It made the entire project a bit more commercial.
I'd love to see a different take on the portraits, though. The way you stylized it was pretty close to the pictures, the likeness, the colors. I think when we set up to make a fanart it's interesting to see the artist's touch to what exists already, so I think you could push it to make something a bit more bold. Maybe your own set of posters to the Era's concert? Maybe try to sell your fanart as the book cover for Taylor's biography? I know you have a book cover in here, but the way you sold it makes me think that the book cover is secundary. If you had begun with saying "I wanted to make a mock project to show how would I design Taylor's biography" then it would make even more sense commercially.
If you take Thobias Daneluz's work, a brilliant Brazilian artist (he also has a course here at Domestika!), he loves to do fanarts, but he always has a way to transform the fanart into something else. Take this "The Office" that turned out to be a poster and a print he sells at cons: https://www.instagram.com/p/Cdn0ugiAA_4/?img_index=1. There are other examples you can find on his instagram that you can take as inspiration. Another one that comes to mind is Luz Tapia: https://www.instagram.com/p/C7zQI4WuxaG/?img_index=1. She takes celebrities and entertainment shows and adds storytelling to them, it's a great way to also create a hype and connect with other fans within your social media.
But good job! Keep up the good work and always remember to make a portfolio piece that has function and commercial value to the industry. It will make your portfolio stand out :)
I'm a huge fan of your work and I appreciate your feedback so, so much! I need to explore bolder artistic directions to my fan art so that I can add more personality to my work. Thank you for sharing examples of other artists.
I submitted another case to this course to see if I was clearer about the commercial use. I'm not sure how to add a second project piece to the same course, so I'm just adding another picture to my course completion submission.
