holy schnitzel, people! it's practically almost april! do you realize what that means?! that i GRADUATE in about a month!! celebrations forthcoming...
in other quite relevant news, i've got homework on the brain. but this homework is pretty rad. for my next assignment in illustration 3 we are creating portraits/caricatures. and who did i choose to portray? AUDREY HEPBURN. yes, the one and only. i'm pretty excited.
so i've been doing loads of research, gathering photo reference, admiring her life, beauty, grace, etc. and i've found some pretty awesome things that i thought i'd share. and perhaps, when all is said and done, i'll share MY finished portrait.

this is my favorite photo of audrey. mostly because of the color. i'm kinda obsessed with pink and aqua at the moment. just ask my fellow artist friend, cat. seriously.

this is my favorite caricature of audrey. i found it at
chris wahl art. he's pretty amazing. i'm pretty much in love with audrey's eyebrows and this piece really emphasizes them. fantastic.


and lastly, my new favorite illustrator, julia denos, illustrated this lovely new book by margaret cardillo. this book is my favorite. and lucky me, my aunt bought it for me! she is the best. anyone who truly loves audrey should own this book. it's a children's book about audrey's life. i lurve it. yes, lurve.
well, that is audrey. and yes, okay, i'll post my version. and yes, eventually i will post some of my other art. it's kind of terrifying though. luckily only six people read this blog. so i guess i have nothing to fear, right?
