Human Rights

Last semester we illustrated the UN human rights declaration in a group of five people.
Everyone painted 6 pictures, here are mine:



Article 1.

* All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights.They are endowed with reason and
conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood.

Article 7.

* All are equal before the law and are entitled without any discrimination to equal protection of the law. All
are entitled to equal protection against any discrimination in violation of this Declaration and against any
incitement to such discrimination.

  5. Hey good stuff here!
    I have to say, I think the last two (26 and 29) are strongest conceptionally, and they are also the best of the bunch from a technical point of view. Did you paint them in the order you posted them because it seems there is a progression there.
    I like the combination of flat painterly colors with drawing on top.. I'm working on some more cartoonish stuff myself right now and it's fun to change things up stylistically from time to time. :)

    cheers!

  6. Thank you :)
    No, I didn't paint them in the order I posted them. I don't remember exactly but I doubt 26 and 29 where the last ones to paint.
    Regarding the quality it's more important that I was defenitely not in a hurry painting those last two which can't be said of the first ones.
