Illustration done in Illustrator CS

This is an illustration that was done for a commentary piece on the the H1N1 virus. A lot of time was spent establishing the highlights, midtones and shadows in this illustration–and that’s from memory. The OIC sketching sessions helps us map the architecture of the face and train us to depict different facial types, how different light sources falls on the skin, how shadows are casts across the face, etc. The facial terrain is constantly fluid and how the interlacing muscles underneath the face works can only be explored during sketching sessions.
