My first attempts at making the illustrations look printed by using digital techniques surprised me and I enjoyed doing them. It is a much faster way to achieve the effect than actually screen printing so would enable me to work to a tighter schedule if required. Especially at the designing stage.
This is a very different approach for me but I have been thoroughly enjoying the process and the results!! The illustrations clearly have a long way to go. I need to trust my instincts and stop drawing what I hope people will like and draw according to the story and my own personal style will come through. My strengths in art direction are developing. This is especially clear within the photos of Red in the woods.
Although when presenting the actual illustrations there were certain ideas I had had and dismissed that stood out more than the designs I intended on. Some of these require further exploration from this point onwards.
So...next brief boundaries are...
Circles - for heads and for character design...
Construction of image...
And finally, limited colour palette - red and white only - explore physical space.
