Aries Rough Drafts

Video Transcript: Four years ago I started working on a research and art project based on astrology. This is my design for Aries, the first sign of the zodiac. I’m actually not an illustrator, in fact one of the intentions of the project was to challenge myself and improve my drawing skills. These are all of the rough drafts I have for this sign. I have around a hundred versions saved which is probably the most in the series. With Aries being so energetic I feel like this is pretty fitting. This sketch gave birth to the final design but for the first couple of years Aries looked more like this… I thought it was too complicated and wanted to simplify it, so I did. At first I didn’t want to share ANY of these drawings but now that I’m releasing all of the signs as limited prints I can look back at these sketches and appreciate them for what they are.
