No.1: Artist Copy
Chosen from a selection of works noted for their simple subject and beautiful demonstration of stylisation.
No.2: Time
The aim of this exercise was to prove to ourselves that we shouldn't be sitting on thumbnails for 3 days when we could do it in 20 minutes. (Or, 2 hours. I can't remember which timeframe we were given.) My assigned article was about a writer who lost custody of her cat after a divorce.
Thumbnails
Examples of Stylisation
This stage is a substitute for showing a portfolio of our own work - that would demonstrate the intended style for the commissioned illustration.

No. 4: Digital Brushes
A link to the Padlet with all the brushes created in the session!
My brushes were made from printing some found objects. |
