For several years, Deloitte hired me to draw employee portraits for their annual conference based on responses to a biographical survey. The task was to personalize each drawing according to answers to questions like, “What is your favorite memory of a childhood vacation?” or “What is your spirit animal, real or imaginary?” It was an enjoyable creative challenge. This particular year, I was under a tighter than usual deadline, so I had to forgo application of detailed shading and dimension in favor of flat color. It proved an effective decision because the featured staff members absolutely loved them.
