Letter Project Reflection

The letter I was given for this project was "L". In order to find the concept for my letter I made 20 thumbnail sketches that started with the letter. After writing down all the words I could think of associated with the letter I drew them in a way that looked like "L". My thumbnail sketches are shown below: 

Although we had a peer feedback session in class it did not help me that much as I already had an idea of my concept. After finalizing my idea I drew out a few drafts of my favorite ideas. Below are 3 separate drafts I made from my thumbnail sketches 

Orignally, I had planned on using the theme of fall for my concept and drew a tree with falling leaves. However, many of my friends told me it was very difficult to see what letter the picture represented and I realized they were right. From that, I thought drawing a llama would be best for my final draft as the letter and concept was very clear. The most challenging part of this project was to make the llama seem as realistic as possible. The picture I based the llama off of was positioned in the opposite way and it took me a while to process how all the details should look in the other direction. However, I am most satisfied with my project because I spent a lot of effort on it and it turned out pretty successful. I would not change the concept of my project if I had the chance to edit it. However, if I was to draw another llama in the future I would not make the stomach as big because that makes the llama look a bit awkward. Overall I am satisfied with my project and hope everyone else is also. Posted below is my final draft!
