Initial Illustrations

I think I want to include illustrations within this project. I realise I have worked previously with text based stuff, especially collecting quotes from the four programmes. However I do like to draw and think that the characters from these shows lend themselves very well to creating almost caricature like creations. So what I decided to do was take the 'Jenna Maroney' character from 30 Rock and use an exisiting image to create a drawing. I first drew a pencil outline shown below.


I then scanned the image into the computer and vectorised the drawing using Illustrator. I also added a few extra components, in this case American flags. I think this could be fun with other characters and the additional object choices could be a lot of fun.


I then combined the image with some of the text to complete the composition shown below. I think I like this idea, but it did take me a while to complete just one image. Do i really have the time to complete one for each individual character from each individual show? I'm not sure I do.
