For this project we are going to combine the art of photography with the art of digital illustration. I want your illustration to be the inspiration for the photo and interact with the main subject or landscape around it. In the majority of the examples below the local artist, Kelly, whose instagram handle is @kellyofthewild, regularly makes her illustrations look like they are coming off the paper but purposely photographing herself and her materials in the scene in which her illustration would live.
We are not simply just adding illustrations to an existing photo, but we are planning out what you want to illustrate and taking a photo that is simply missing your illustration. You have to plan out how the main subject or the scenery is going to interact with your illustration. In some of the images the artist has an actual drawing partially finished on her paper and then she does a digital illustration that would go along with the real life drawing, or she transitions her real life drawing into digital art. In other images you don't even see the paper but she creates a relationship between herself and the illustration as you can see in the mammoth and flamingo pieces.

For this self portrait, I want you to create the image entirely out of lyrics of your favorite song or poem. To do this you will have to use the typography tool in Photoshop and warp it to fit the various features of your face. Below are a couple tutorials on how to shape words into specific or generic shapes. You may want to play with various colors, boldnesses of the fonts, and a variety of different fonts to represent values or textures of the face, or bring emphasis to the words/areas of the face that you care about the most.
