Fall 2019 Illustration 2

Pick a place you know very well, and create a poster that reimagines that place as the scene of a horror, science fiction, or fantasy story. Your poster must be a minimum of 11 x 14 inches. You can work in portrait or landscape orientation. Make sure it is a standard print size. Examples: 11x17, 12x16, 18x24, 24x36. You’ll be working in full-bleed. Be sure to include an extra 1/4-inch all the way around your piece. You can work in any medium, including digital. Due Nov. 25 1. Thumbnails showing your thought process 2. A sketch of your final illustration. Your composition should show that you are thinking about foreground, middle ground, and background. Due Dec. 2 1. A tightly rendered, full-sized drawing of your final illustration. All of your line work should be close to final. For example, if your final illustration will have inked lines, then I want to see the inked lines at this point. 2. Thumbnails that show how you’ve tested the values of your final illust...

For those of you working digitally ... I've created a Dropbox folder for digital homework and shared it with all of you. The notification should have arrived in your email via Dropbox.  Here's a direct link:  https://www.dropbox.com/home/Arts%20259%20homework%20upload In addition to showing a printout, drop your digital file into this folder before the critique.

Choose a scene from your favorite children's book (or just a children's book you really like) and create a new illustration. It can be any scene you choose from the book. It should reflect your own interpretation of the scene, a completely new illustration based on the author's text for that page. You should redesign the characters, the environment, everything.

Make sure you are familiar with the text. You’ll need to read the book in order to gather information about the characters and the world, and to choose your scene. DUE Nov. 11: From the thumbnails we started in class, sketch the page you'll be recreating, at full size, and include lines to indicate trim size, gutter, and bleed (an extra 0.25 inches all the way around your art).  If your art is not full-bleed then I still want to see the ble...
