Hey everyone! This is one of my favorite projects I've done this semester! I chose Vince Guaraldi as the final project because you can't turn down such a happy looking man! So for this project, I drew this version of Schroeder from the Peanuts, and added Vince's oh so wonderful mustache.
(here's an image if you're not familiar.)
I love this man! I wanted to do him justice, and how better than with that wonderful mustache on an visualization of one of his favorite creations; music for Peanuts. I wasn't sure if we were supposed to add text to the back of the cover, so I wrote a little blurb about him and Peanuts although I'm sure more information would be featured if I was really writing a book.
One thing I really liked about this project was that for the first time I really got to play around with font. I spent a good amount of time trying to find a good font to match with the handwriting like font but easier to read in paragraph form. I also added a drop shadow which is not something I've done before this semester and I love the way it looked. I also did a lot of editing to make the whole book cover look like paper even though I drew the sketch in the upper left corner of a sketchbook paper. I loved getting to draw a cartoon image for a project as it's something I love to do.
