I painted this digital portrait for a class project where we had to capture a specific emotion. The emotion for this portrait is the feeling of being irked. I was photographing my little sister as a reference for this assignment, and the photo I chose to paint was a candid shot of her being upset with me because she didn’t want to pose anymore.

Early process sketch

CAPIC (The Canadian Association of Professional Image Creators) holds an annual nationwide student contest in illustration and photography, titled Rodeo. This was the thirteenth year of the contest, but far from unlucky for Bachelor of Design students: First Place went to Megan Barry (IDEA Grad 2023), Second Place went to Janelle Momotani (IDEA Grad 2022), and Third Place went to Jamie Kusack (IDEA Grad 2023).

In addition, no fewer than seven IDEA students placed among the Top Ten: Alina Sandu (IDEA Grad 2022), Jason Low (IDEA Grad 2023), Janelle Momotani (as above), Joyce Chan (IDEA Grad 2023), Raha Namdari (IDEA Grad 2023), Alison Johnstone (IDEA Grad 2021), Aleksandar Jones (IDEA Grad 2023).

A clean sweep in the Illustration category!
