Japanese Character Design

Who is  Takashi Murakami?
Research and find three existing artworks that Mr Murakami has created. What stands out about his particular artwork? 


Looking through your various creations of Takashi Murakami create a Ven Diagram, either on your computer or on paper between the differences and similarities between Takashi Murakami's work and Manga Art Work. 

Over the following weeks you will be creating a hybrid of both designs. Demonstrating your understanding of how Murakami designed his work and the widely accepted Japanese artwork know as Manga. 

We previously explored how to create a Manga styled 'eye', for todays session continue with that same style of creation in Ai, however this time create a 'lip' feature. Depending on the context of the situation this can dramatically change from Japanese art work. 

Refer to below for some examples, however these are certainly not limited to the samples. Think about the context of what you are creating and decide the situation of how it should be presented.
