Alrighty! So this week, we had to create a buncha personalized symbols, in either a series, or a sequence. I chose "my morning routine" for this project, since the inspiration of morbidly comical goings on in the morning is endless, aheh. I really enjoyed making these, because they really represent me, and it was tough to choose five from the bunch I had sketched out.

Using a restricted color palette was interesting too, because it forced me to really rely on other elements of the picture to make it "complete", such as contrast, line width and composition. In retrospect, after having looked around at a few other people's work, I think I should have simplified these even more, but I have a LOT of trouble doing that, in general. I draw pretty detailed usually, so just even doing these was difficult, hehe. But it was a great exercise, and I'm generally happy with the results.

I'm not sure if the meanings are clear, but some are more obvious than others, I guess, hehe. Anyway, I hope you like 'em!

In order of appearance:

1) Warning: Bad Hair Day
2) Beware: Morning Breath
3) Inhaling Breakfast, Proceed at your own Risk
4) Attention: Forgotten Homework Zone
5) Caution: Toilet Sleepers Ahead
