One of the Skillshare classes I’m taking is Kate Bingaman-Burt’s Drawing Collections: Illustrating Stories through Taxonomy. In her class we are to produce a collection of illustrations that tell a story about ourselves. We are to make two sets; this is the first I came up with just by watching the first couple of videos and browsing the completed projects.

In terms of following instructions, this output is totally wrong, but nevertheless let me take you to the process hehe
The collection I decided to draw was the stuff on my office desk, you’re supposed to draw each item on a big sheet, add labels, color it using whatever medium, scan it, and post process it using Photoshop. After doing all those, you can combine and layout all of the items in a single large canvas and marvel at the story you’ve made a bunch of things convey.
Sadly, here’s what I did: I drew them all together on a postcard sized pad and colored the items using watercolor. Then I took a picture of it and edited using whatever app my tablet has. I forgot about the labels cos there isn’t any space left.
