Conceptual Illustration

My goal with the second illustration was to go for a simpler form. I chose to do a line drawing with minimal color, which is not my usual style.

Process:

• research art precedents
• brainstorm words that describe the concepts in the chapter we were illustrating
• choose a concept and brainstorm images that would best illustrate the idea
• draw concept sketches
• choose one and thumbnail
• get a roommate to pose for me for reference photos
• (get feedback from class and teacher and start all over again)
• complete the final piece on bristol board with ink and watercolor

Illustration of chapter 1: Discipline

“Life is a series of problems. Do we want to moan about them or solve them?”

Some have the courage…
