Window project at Newtown Primary

As mentioned in previous posts, I've been working on a window project at Newtown Primary School. I was approached  by the Head after delivering After School Clubs at the school, with a request to refresh the reception door windows into the school.

Originally, the window had the school shield painted on by a previous student at the school, but over the years this had suffered damage due to some vandalism. The request  from the Head was for a welcome sign for visitors coming into the school. 

After a couple of sketches this is what I came up with.
 Each character is unique, dressed in the school uniform with the Head.
Photographs show the different stages of how the work progressed.

The original window design of the school shield which over the
years had suffered some vandalism.

Once the widows had been cleaned and degreased I
layout the templates to for each window.


Once I was happy with the layout, I then drew the outlines
and began to fill in  the colour.

    Initially this window had a "No Smoking" sign in the bottom left hand corner.
