Roughs week 3

These are my roughs for week three, the first one is my favourite, looking at the "kit" the girl mentioned in the article may nee to "act the part" at first I was going to just have text across the top but I think it works better in the smaller version where the text is in the mirror. I was then going to put a little hint on the table that she isn't as dumb as she acts.

I also tried to look at "acting the part" by doing the same girl like a before and after, but I don't think that works. The silhouette idea is because it's a bit of a shady, taboo subject to discuss. And the final one is just an image in the text I found quite funny which was the idea of the dancer doing the robot!

Final FINAL! All ears illustration week two!

This is my final, final illustration for week two. I did it on an off white cartridge paper in the end so the background wasn't to plain. Done with Gouache, watercolour pencils an fine liner. I focused on two of the strong images in the article. The description of the car that smells of trees and the one set on fire by the dodgy cousin.

Rough final week two

This is my first sketch for my final week two illustration, After washing the background though I decided I didn't like it and started again!

Roughs. All ears article, week two!

Roughs for week two's article, looking at the two main visual ideas:

- The descriptions of the car.

- The idea of taking of your shoes in someone's house rendering the two men silent with judgement.

I think my favourite is the tree exploding from the car to show the over powering smell, "The whole car smelled like trees!" Thinking this may be nice with an image of a car then the tree hand painted exploding from it.

Final All ears illustration, Week one

This is my final all ears illustration for week one, using mixed media, pens, watercolour pencils, acrylic paint and cartridge paper. The only real colour being man two's christmas hat to highlight the contrast between his "morose" state and the fuzzyness of christmas.
