Birdman
The Process
This illustration was inspired by the Cirque du Soleil show “Mystere” and depicts the main character of the show composed of many smaller birds. I first started drawing the profile and bird shapes in analogue,then scanned it into my computer and added colour and textures to the image digitally.The figure and subject matter are inspired by the costumes from the show, which includes the performers dressed as magical bird creatures.
Other Products
The illustration later inspired a line of imaginary products utilizing aspects of the illustration, which included a travel mug, an umbrella, and jewelry. With this project I learned that an illustration could directly inspire and lead to other exciting projects.
