In this cover, I wanted to focus on the type and the color of the piece-- making it pop and making it appealing while using a more muted palette. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603ef3c250ffff7e55b16dfd/bb348d24-370a-435d-8513-880094c0c303/ElaineInsideSpreadWebSize.jpg Comics and Kids Books These are the first counting pages of the book. I wanted to touch on both counting and color in this story. I highlighted the color through its use in the text, making sure the color of the words matched the flower(s) to further emphasize the connection. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603ef3c250ffff7e55b16dfd/59607a92-ff1a-4144-bb0e-3f47609061f9/FuckThisComic.png Comics and Kids Books https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603ef3c250ffff7e55b16dfd/1650920420282-C2IAOZDZY7T4Z6TA87YR/WhenFlowersBloomFullBookWebSize.jpg Comics and Kids Books This is the mockup for the entire book. I wanted to keep Elaine's character consistent and again make use of a more muted yet colorful palette. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603ef3c250ffff7e55b16dfd/b07bce89-55db-4d47-999d-4976921ec77f/MagicMugWebSIze.jpg Comics and Kids Books https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603ef3c250ffff7e55b16dfd/d2399249-7a80-432e-a3ea-4407f1f0589d/MagicMug_Page_2.png Comics and Kids Books https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603ef3c250ffff7e55b16dfd/f02d5842-2678-48dd-b0a4-41fab022792f/Page_4.png Comics and Kids Books https://www.twoshoes00.com/one daily 1.0 2022-05-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603ef3c250ffff7e55b16dfd/b715fdda-2fb5-42b5-8949-e228667527bd/NatashaUno_FreeandOpenExhibition_DMoC_FinalPoster_2022_WebsiteV.jpg Homepage https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603ef3c250ffff7e55b16dfd/09332eb8-6514-41ca-930f-abb7c312c3b5/Untitled_Artwork-13.jpg Homepage https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603ef3c250ffff7e55b16dfd/7a57ade6-3e4c-4e84-b4d2-4473e81550e7/MushroomLoveWebSize.jpg Homepage https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603ef3c250ffff7e55b16dfd/414f32d8-cdfa-4592-8bca-81b6084f6ee3/TurningPagesWebSize.jpg Homepage https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603ef3c250ffff7e55b16dfd/88c7f32a-aedf-4da0-9030-b076aed2fbfd/MagicMugWebSIze.jpg Homepage https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603ef3c250ffff7e55b16dfd/ed264deb-22a9-4d24-9078-f0fa5956dafb/MindyMathMagicWebSize.jpg Homepage https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603ef3c250ffff7e55b16dfd/fc4f30d5-c177-4b0e-a79c-c8850dd9cfa9/DrowningWebSize.jpg Homepage https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603ef3c250ffff7e55b16dfd/d66c64c4-e32a-4056-ac5e-3e12db7e28f4/WomenWebSize.jpg Homepage https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603ef3c250ffff7e55b16dfd/e9a369b4-5460-407b-833f-f8e3496f3465/TitanicWebSIze.jpg Homepage https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603ef3c250ffff7e55b16dfd/b81e3016-52cd-49d1-9c35-6a7455535473/TaeminAdviceWebSize.jpg Homepage https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603ef3c250ffff7e55b16dfd/c92bc845-41bc-4d1d-ac20-4c8fff99ce34/WinstonWebSize.jpg Homepage https://www.twoshoes00.com/about daily 0.75 2022-04-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603ef3c250ffff7e55b16dfd/1614812535901-ZGSEM85ULEWUZN0CONWN/4B2FFE33-1778-4476-B61B-761B8F8160EE.jpg About - About Natasha She/Her I am an artist located in Chicago who grew up in Lincoln Square. I have always loved to draw and when I finally got my hands on an iPad in 2013, that love exploded and brought me to where I am today. I am a Columbia Graduate with a BA in Illustration and a minor in Cultural Studies. As someone who is mixed and whose work surrounds characters, I love to highlight diversity and representation in my work. https://www.twoshoes00.com/commissions daily 0.75 2021-03-13 https://www.twoshoes00.com/gallery-work daily 0.75 2022-05-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603ef3c250ffff7e55b16dfd/1614814214862-7KYG868I9ZKZH1MB0FBS/77BD71DA-2828-4F15-9BE5-796CABBEBD4A.png Gallery Work https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603ef3c250ffff7e55b16dfd/1614814310075-0NQ7YSK12VVSTK1NB2RQ/8B2FC044-9743-4D53-986F-C57DCB9E9CEB.jpeg Gallery Work https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603ef3c250ffff7e55b16dfd/1614814469618-4PPLQWVAXXHAHUWMGFS4/DF02FB38-0ACD-407E-B5EE-29DBF269F603.png Gallery Work https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603ef3c250ffff7e55b16dfd/1614814216346-XB91WIXBXS2WE44BXO7N/7A1FAD39-58CA-482A-8A67-8DAE5B4D005D.png Gallery Work https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603ef3c250ffff7e55b16dfd/1614814386732-UAGHYRD7VZRP5FFDJWNZ/B9ED3271-1AD2-43FE-A9D0-7A6DEF99FA5E.jpeg Gallery Work https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603ef3c250ffff7e55b16dfd/1614814469276-UKFC5HSH1V8I4ABS3F1C/38B39C1C-DB5E-4A66-A660-F163BCDAD8D7.png Gallery Work https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603ef3c250ffff7e55b16dfd/1614814216347-2Q2XM8SYY0LZVHRDKK5E/12B3A437-3736-4E1E-B9E5-ED219CD1F97E.png Gallery Work https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603ef3c250ffff7e55b16dfd/eac1cf8b-11f0-4027-a582-2749bd7fcaaa/Low_Dpi.jpg Gallery Work https://www.twoshoes00.com/selena-project daily 0.75 2022-04-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603ef3c250ffff7e55b16dfd/dd1def58-2c67-430d-a644-071ff31cf269/Selene_Project_Thumbails1.PNG The Selena Project When I began this project I decided to focus on figure. I have taken many figure drawing classes, and I think the human body is beautiful and diverse. At first, I was really enjoying drawing dancers, adding butterflies to represent the dancer's beauty and elegance. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603ef3c250ffff7e55b16dfd/066dd022-8c30-4d05-8596-06d0fdee306c/Selene_Project_Thumbails2.PNG The Selena Project For my second page of thumbnails, I was focusing again on figure, adding in elements of nature. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603ef3c250ffff7e55b16dfd/ab7d0c66-03a5-4693-b5f3-4097c6ab3fce/Selene_Project_Thumbailsf3.PNG The Selena Project For my last page of thumbnails, I wanted to experiment more with an outstretched figure to make use of the vertical layout of the poster. I also decided I wanted to make a nod to amethyst by including crystals. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603ef3c250ffff7e55b16dfd/f651439e-d68e-4dad-b038-921820389344/Selene_Project_Refined_Thumbs1.PNG The Selena Project In the end, I decided on Selena. I pulled out the final thumbnail for this piece and sketched out the figure in order to decide how I wanted the dress to flow and fit. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603ef3c250ffff7e55b16dfd/ff93772d-eab4-465f-8d93-4a3025602c4c/Selene_Project_Refined_Thumbs2.jpg The Selena Project This is the final design of the dress I made edits to after printing out all of my thumbnails and sketches. I decided to move the stars on her dress up to the waistline to not only suit the figure, but also to create a more balanced composition. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603ef3c250ffff7e55b16dfd/271c3c34-f0a2-498e-a06f-ad4f86e1e35a/Selene_Project_Color_Thumbs.PNG The Selena Project Selena's name was an easy choice. Originally, my gut feeling was that her name would be Selene, but after some quick research I discovered that "Selena" means "moon goddess", and that was that. In these thumbnails I focused on perfecting my color palette for the illustration and get a better feeling for the end result. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603ef3c250ffff7e55b16dfd/817e691b-a875-49ac-ad21-f6c418d4745f/Original-2.jpg The Selena Project And here she is! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603ef3c250ffff7e55b16dfd/e7e22698-bca8-4a80-ac24-442d8882c09d/Selena_FinalPoster_Printed.JPG The Selena Project Seeing it printed was amazing and made all that hard work feel so worth it :) https://www.twoshoes00.com/shop-coming-soon daily 0.75 2022-04-25
