Techniques such as shading, layering, and color blending were used to render textures that capture a spectrum of human emotions, resulting in a series of technically accomplished and emotionally compelling portraits.
Design Challenge: The main creative challenge in the "Figure Portrait" series was representing the essence of human experience across different eras through portraiture. Balancing technical proficiency with emotional resonance was an internal obstacle, requiring a deep understanding of illustration techniques and human emotions. Externally, keeping the designs relevant and engaging for a contemporary audience while drawing inspiration from various historical and social contexts was challenging.
Research: This series captures the essence of human experience across different eras. The methodology involved studying historical and contemporary facial expressions and features and translating these into illustrations. Data was collected from various historical, artistic, and cultural sources. The research tools used included traditional sketching tools and digital software like Procreate. The insights gained have a deeper understanding of how portraiture can encapsulate the human experience.
Inspiration: This series is inspired by the desire to interpret the essence of human experience across different periods visually. Drawing from the rich of life, the project seeks to portray the faces of various eras and general personas, capturing their unique emotions and experiences. The technical background involved research into portrait illustration and studying historical and contemporary facial expressions and features, resulting in these that are as technically robust as it is emotionally resonant.
Project Duration: The project started in April 2022 in Macau, finished in March 2023 in Zhengzhou, and was exhibited in Zhengzhou, China.
