Vector Portrait
Project Overview
This vector portrait pays homage to artist Joana Choumali and her signature embroidery technique. Stitched patterns recreated in vector form bring the texture and depth of her work into a digital medium.
My Contributions
Digital Embroidery Technique: Adapted Choumali's embroidery style into vector form, mimicking the texture and depth of her stitched originals.
Artistic Interpretation: Interpreted her themes and techniques while staying true to her artistic voice.
Design Execution: Used vector illustration tools to build the portrait with precision and fluidity.
Conceptual Development: Researched Choumali's work to represent her method and message accurately.
Design Notes
The project bridges embroidery and digital illustration by recreating Joana Choumali's stitched technique in vector form. Dashed lines simulate stitches, echoing the texture and emotional depth of her embroidered pieces.
Getting it right meant studying her portfolio closely: her themes, her methods, and how to translate them into a new medium without losing her voice. The result is a digital homage that shows how much character and narrative vector illustration can carry.
