Illustrative Title Assignment

For my Illustration in the Market class. The assignment was to find an article and create an illustrated title that expresses what the article is about. (the article is about the high demand for sushi and fish products depleting the world's fishing resources because of mass overfishing) The title is the word "Sushi" made of sushi and "sustainable" written in soy sauce. I tried to show depletion by drawing some of the sushi as just scraps or bitten into, etc. And added chopsticks taking pieces away to illustrate the continuation of this problem.

It is done with watercolor with gouache paint for the rice, micron pen outlines and mechanical pencil for the drop shadows.
