Today I’ve completed the poses for Rodney Mullen. The first pose I did was him stating up and looking to the audience with a welcoming smile, presenting himself in a kind way. The second one I finished by illustrate him jumping with his skateboard, and smiling to show he is having fun. The third one is a illustration of him smiling to the audience and presenting his skateboard bottom part, revealing that on the bottom the text that says “CREATIVITY” because he is associated with the word according to Gorge children book ideas. I’m currently working in the close up face expression. I’m also waiting for some feedback for the second poster for professor Perchuck, so i can jump in another designs. As every other day since class started my team and I text all the time to keep up to date in the progress of each other.

Below is the image of the posses I have completed for Rodney Mullen illustration bubble head:
