Example Project: Labyrinth




My intention: You can see that I got really into the idea of rooms here. The first image was inspired by MC Escher I attempted to build a labyrinth with many pathways while providing a variety of shapes to characterize each section. I inked the piece and put it away for a few days to get some distance from it.

Revision: After spending a few days away from the first design I realized it had become too cluttered. The line width was also too consistant and the image began to feel like a chore to look at. I wanted to give the maze clarity and a sense of fun.

In the second image about 25% of the lines are removed and the line density was altered in order to provide the eye with clusters of density rather than the continuous, all-over density of the first.

Overall, I am happier with the revised image but if I had more time I might alter the patterns to make the image more "Pop" like Roy Lichetenstein.
