Book Illustration pencil comps

These are the pencil comps for the book illustration. I chose to do the book 1984 and put the main character in the center surrounded by Telescreens with Big Brother's face on them. The consensus class opinion was #1 or #2 is the best because it has a good composition and lonely feeling. I'm thinking I will go with #2 because him eating dinner surrounded by these Telescreens gives a good impression of the Party being able to see him during his everyday private life. I plan to make him look like he's described in the book-- "small and frail with fair hair and reddish skin" and wearing blue overalls.

Sound Marker Comp #2

Here's the second version of the marker comp for my sound illustration. I added the cracks in the ice with blue and also worked on the colors of the pants, shoelaces, and skates. I also got rid of the misplaced highlight in the jeans.

Sound Marker Comp

This is the marker comp for my sound illustration. From comments, I'm going to redo it and make some cracks in the ice on the picture too. I'm also going to make some colors a little more vibrant.

Sound Pencil Comp

I created this pencil comp based on the suggestions from the last sketches. I'm going to make the cracks in black and have the pieces on different planes.

Sound Sketches

These are my initial sketches for the sound illustration. I want to illustrate the cracking of ice. The favorite was the one that had the entire picture cracked and the crack under the blade of the skate.

Cheesy Final

Here's the final airbrush of my Cheesy Airbrush assignment. It's definitely cheesy with its flat colors, centered composition, and heart-themed subject matter. The mask for the heart around the outside was cut a bit rough, but I think the rest of the shapes look okay. Looking back, it might have been better if I had used more than a couple colors for each shape, but I think this way it's more cheesy.

Missouri Postcard Final

Here's the final version of my Missouri Postcard illustration. I used black line for the basic shapes and to give the illustration structure, then went in with watercolor to add color and value. I think it turned out pretty well and the water in the background looks realistic.
