Still on the vein of exploring my thought process coming from “bootleg design” and “poorly drawn”, I decided to experiment with a more illustration-based approach. So i drew Spider-Man:
I liked how it looked, so I went on to draw the rest of a series, once again on the “Avengres”:
Once again I tried to be very sloppy with my drawing and coloring, and that time extended that to the writing of their names as well. In some of them I tried emulating the squished text you get on childrens’ drawn posters when they start writing a title with large letters and then have to make them smaller by the end when they realize they’re gonna run out of space (speaking from personal experience).
Also, I deliberately used characters that are not part of the Avengers for comical effect, and following through with the “bootleg” concept.
I then went on to do a similar experiment with the cast of Friends, another extremely popular TV show, along with other different Photoshop experiments:
And I also tried a similar approach through drawings on MS Paint, a software renowned for being very basic and limited (I love the rough pixelated look of the brushstrokes in there):
Still trying to figure out other ways to adapt my concept into a possible personal style I’m trying to figure out if I have, I redrew other popular franchise characters in the style of the character I developed for my first project:
