Digital Illustration Evaluation Babar Khan

First of all, we worked on the project about chimera and this was about making mythological hybrid creature. I created ten of them, but picked three of my favourites, for example one chimera has a bear’s head, tiger’s body, snake’s tail and bat’s wings. The other one has cat’s face, body of hippopotamus, goat’s horns and tail of octopus. The third chimera has dog’s head, horse’s body. crow’s wings and scorpion’s tail.

Next project I had focused on was surrealism and that means an artwork that is creative, but it is characterised by unnatural and illogical combinations as well as juxtapositions. I had created two of them so far, for example I had created a first one which was called “Egyptian Curse”. The background consisted of a pyramid and red sky, as the whole country was filled with curse. A demonic entity appears in a form of jackal’s head, devil’s wings and body of totem pole. This shows that it would corrupt the mankind to commit evil deeds. I have also created another one which was called as “Volcanic Hell” and that picture displayed that a volcano would erupt after the sky changes from blue to orange. In actuality, there is a lava and a monster beneath the volcano (possibly the devil). When a person enters inside the volcano, he fall in hell and be tormented by the demonic being (in a form of red and black cloud smoke).

Finally, I had worked on “Colossus” project and that was about creating a giant person sitting on or wandering around the buildings. For example, I took a picture of different buildings with my digital camera. For the camera pose, I sat on the block and later on I used that picture on the Photoshop. I turned myself into a giant and sat on top of the building. Therefore, I smiled and seemed to look at the view.

So far I have enjoyed all three projects, but my favourite one was the chimera because it was creative and enjoyable. I had good choice when it gets to choosing different animals. The chimera project was so easy because I had an ability to create different hybrids without needing any help. Also, I followed the instructions after David gave it to me in the project. If I was to do this again, I would pick another hybrid with different parts of animal bodies that I had never chosen before.

Introduce Yourself (Example Post)

This is an example post, originally published as part of Blogging University. Enroll in one of our ten programs, and start your blog right.

You’re going to publish a post today. Don’t worry about how your blog looks. Don’t worry if you haven’t given it a name yet, or you’re feeling overwhelmed. Just click the “New Post” button, and tell us why you’re here.

Why do this?

  • Because it gives new readers context. What are you about? Why should they read your blog?
  • Because it will help you focus you own ideas about your blog and what you’d like to do with it.

The post can be short or long, a personal intro to your life or a bloggy mission statement, a manifesto for the future or a simple outline of your the types of things you hope to publish.

To help you get started, here are a few questions:

  • Why are you blogging publicly, rather than keeping a personal journal?
  • What topics do you think you’ll write about?
  • Who would you love to connect with via your blog?
  • If you blog successfully throughout the next year, what would you hope to have accomplished?

You’re not locked into any of this; one of the wonderful things about blogs is how they constantly evolve as we learn, grow, and interact with one another — but it’s good to know where and why you started, and articulating your goals may just give you a few other post ideas.

Can’t think how to get started? Just write the first thing that pops into your head. Anne Lamott, author of a book on writing we love, says that you need to give yourself permission to write a “crappy first draft”. Anne makes a great point — just start writing, and worry about editing it later.

When you’re ready to publish, give your post three to five tags that describe your blog’s focus — writing, photography, fiction, parenting, food, cars, movies, sports, whatever. These tags will help others who care about your topics find you in the Reader. Make sure one of the tags is “zerotohero,” so other new bloggers can find you, too.
