The day of the party my character decides to attend the party. She is the first guest there. In her her journal she talks about how when the guest more and more guest starts to arrive she starts to feel out of place like she did not belong. Camryn tries calming her down. Camryn takes her to a room of teenagers who were in the room smoking and Camryn handed her a pill. Telling her that she'll feel better when she takes it. She takes the pill and all she remembers is ending up in the hospital.
8months later Camryn went ghost she wasn't replying to her messages. My character's mom is making sure she is now taking her medication daily 2018 my character is now 18 years old she had a bad interview she started stuttering, sweating and rapidly breathing. Interviewer told her she has to break out of her shyness if she plans to be in the work force. she gets mad and writes in the journal how she's tired of people calling her shy. 2019 My characters gets inspired by this ted talk video she watched of a girl talking about her social anxiety and overcoming it. This gives my character hope to overcome her social anxiety. |
This was the first sketch I did using graphite I like portraits so I like doing faces i just did this random face of a girl and I scribbled and erased and repeating that process this is what I had end up with.
|
In the next process I started to explore with charcoal I looked on Pinterest searched photo references.
|
I stated using my charcoal pencil and this had a sharper tip so I was able to get nice details in. I also used a thicker charcoal pencil and filled in the background as black. looking at charcoal work you can see the black background in the back.
|
In this part I made things more darker added just a little bit more details to the eye
|
This part I just did a sketch from this photography that looked cool I just wanted to see how it would come out.
In this process I wanted to add a form of mixed media so I grabbed some magazines I found in my house and cut out words that associates with social anxiety. also who my character was hanging out with
|
I then started to change the sketch with the hair. I wanted to leave the sketch how it was before but I ended up changing because this symoolizes the character Camryn mentioned in the journal. Camryn has bangs.
Here my character uses a lot of words as to what she felt like. my character does this out of frustration.
