Jessie Lastre's "Frida Tracy"

For this project, I was inspired by my favorite artist Frida Kahlo. Frida typically portrayed herself as "manly" which is why I thought she would be perfect for this part. I took most of my inspiration from one of her more feminine self portraits. Aside from that, I wanted to keep the original look of Dick Tracy and kept the color scheme used on the Warren Beatty film posters. I primarily used the pen tool to help keep with the comic book look and feel. I believe I was successful in my attempts.
