Midterm Portfolio: 1 Gouache Illustration

This one was a tough decision for me since I didn't have much to choose from, and I am terrible at controlling gouache in a way I want it to work, so I had to sub par works to choose from. I ended up going with the Triple Ds (Daleks, Dirigibles, and Doughnuts). I felt that this one just looked the most finished and showed at least that I was able to punch up the contrast (and paint a f***kin' doughnut!) But, when scanned in, I think the sky works much better and I do like how I simplified the dirigibles for depth. The detail on the Dalek was also more than I was expecting to be able to convey since I was struggling so much with the medium, but I think that, in the end, it turned out.
