Recreation

For our Illustrator assignment, we had to recreate a work of art, analysing the geometry of the original image.

Edmund Dulac

I love the blended colours in this image, and all the pale blues. A friend commented that it looks like Eurydice is giving Orpheus the finger. I can't say I blame her; she was almost free of the Underworld.

Dulac's Orpheus and Eurydice

The folds of cloth took forever, but I'm really pleased with how they turned out. The part I'm happiest with is Orpheus' lyre and leopard-skin bag.
