Confidence Project – Portfolio Development, Spring 2025
Confidence Project – Portfolio Development The goal was to create a work based around Impostor Syndrome and the Dunning-Kruger Effect. I chose to design two characters and compose artwork with them as the focal points.
My initial thumbnail sketches for my characters "Ipsie" and "Dunken"
I decided to proceed with the "Critter" concepts.

Ipsie's final concept
Dunken's final concept
After drawing the designs, I made Ipsie and Dunken into pipecleaner dolls
I took some photos with Ipsie and Dunken's dolls to get an idea how I wanted to compose my final pieces
I used this photo as inspiration for Ipsie's final composition
behind the scenes
I used these photos to capture their personalities as well
The idea of Dunken failing at camping was my first idea for his composition, but I wasn't as in love with the idea as I went to compose the scene
more behind the scenes
A classmate suggested I draw Dunken instead failing at baking. the idea was so funny that I HAD to draw it
