Inspired by Lauren

Going through all the old DS106 design assignments, I came across a really cool cartoon-like sketch. After opening the post, I saw that it was modeled after a screen shot from the The Wire. I think Lauren did an excellent job at sketching a shot from the opening scene of Season 2, Episode 9. You can find Lauren’s full post and how she created this masterpiece here.

Lauren’s Masterpiece

I believe Lauren did a great job experimenting with line diameter, opacity/shading, and textures. The picture almost has a cartoony effect, but still portrays the mother’s grief perfectly. I love that the foreground features a lot of depth and shading, while the background is very 2D and simplistic. It really makes the foreground figure pop. Great job Lauren!
