Hello there !

Here is my last illustration project. Thank you @anni_tett for the course and inspiration !
It is supposed to represent the community of my city : Nantes

I just realized this project is featured on Domestika !
You can check the process down here.

For the composition, I wanted to create something with triangles, (from the same base, all rising to the top, it made a lot of sense for me)
Then I added some circle and square for the sake of rhythm and diversity !

After that, I imagined characters based on the shape and composition, I tried to make big, medium, and small sized elements as recommended in the lesson.
I also added a flag at the top; I drew one in a previous exercise, and I liked the dynamic of this floating element ! Also, all people under the same flag represents a united community very well.

Then I drew it on tablet to make it more clear, and aligned with the composition.

The drawing was imported in illustrator and I started to vectorize it

I looked for some colors on the way.

And as I colorized the vector file, tried a few different colors until I was satisfied.

I realized the drawing was to heavy with the colors, and I told myself I needed to simplify the composition to make it "breath" a bit better ! Also, made a few changes to design, and colors.

And finally, I imported it on photoshop to add shadings, and I got the final result.

I hope you liked it !
You can find it also on Domestika
