Sword Illustrations

For an illustration class, I was tasked with illustrating an object in a different style every week for 10 weeks. I chose a sword for my object, as I associate them with whimsy, fantasy, and an obsession with swords that I had as a child. As weeks went on, I had to try things out of my comfort zone in order to continue challenging myself, which I greatly enjoyed. The style and colors of the final illustration were chosen by my instructor, based on what he thought might be out of my wheelhouse.
