Dear John,
After looking at the creative CVs on pinterest I noticed that my favourites had little photos or illustrations of themselves and when I looked at the illustration of myself from last year I thought it was time for a new one that will more accurately portray my abilities. I had this sketch of myself already from a long train journey and as I was staying in my reflection it is more detailed then some of my normal work. I also had a bit of a breakthrough with this. As when I tried using the pale colour on the hair I realised, while it wasn't right for my hair, light coloured lines on dark colours look so good. So when I did the lines on the shirt I chose to do the lighter lines over the dark red ones I also tried. Another thing that I did with this that I wouldn't normally do, was to make the check pattern on my shirt. While I didn't do it mega detailed or super like my actual one, I am really happy with how it turned out. Especially when the colour got to a point that shows what it is without detracting from the rest of the image. I knew that this was to tie in with my branding so I made the background my faded logo and used the pink/cream from the pattern as the table. This should ensure that it all ties together.
