For the OLIO cover illustration there wasn’t really any
design roughs to begin with, as I went straight into creating the cover from
scratch without putting much thought into the idea. The concept of my
illustration idea was to create a simple imagery that depicts stories,
characters and imagination. With the template I was given I had worked within
the provided image space to generate my presentation rough. In terms of visual
imagery, the idea was to have a child reading stories from a book, while being
followed by these imaginary characters that were from the short stories the
child was reading. This is to reflect on the topics of stories, characters and
imagination that I personally feel that this illustration course is based on,
throughout my 3 years of studying here.
Line work of the illustration at the initial rough stage of
progress.
Blocking out sections of the illustration to separate subject
matters from backgrounds. This will make things easier to paint objects and
characters without having the colours overlapping into outside areas/sections
that would otherwise interfere areas that are already painted.
Flat colours is then implemented onto the separated layers
of greyed block outs. At this stage this is where I had presented my
presentation rough. In terms of feedback it just needs a little more tone or
stronger colours to define what is at the foreground and lighter colours for
the background to give it a little more depth. Other than that it is very
neatly presented as a rough within the given image size/olio template.
I will continue to refine the illustration until I am satisfied
with the result as a more polished version (not final artwork) that will
showcase what the final result may look like.
