MY IDEA'S

Going from all the research below, I compiled all this into a brain storm and tried to decipher what i was going to produce as a final outcome. I also did a few sketches using different media for each and a variation in idea. Below are my 4 designs.

This sketch was done with just pencil and paper and keeping it with simple lines, no shading. The idea behind it was to show the path of how I was thinking about how illustration can communicate to people and my idea's along the way. With a tv for when i first saw Unbreakable and the things I noticed like the Hieroglyohics in the background and so on...

For this image I changed media, and used a brush pen and ink, then with water blended the ink to give a wash effect like in Tim Sales sketches. Here i was thinking more literaly about the comic book itself and where the illustrations stem from, so possibly having a comic book with the pages flying out for people to view, as if im sharing my thinking of what illustration is.

Looking at my other sketches I decided that they were a bit bland in colour, so i took the same image but using watered down acrylics to give a wash effect. I think this worked effectivly but Im drawn to the idea of combining paints with washes of black ink.






Moving away from the more traditional way of workin I created a mock of a comic book front cover that I could maybe use for my comic book. I did this using Photoshop from a photograph i took of myself. This sparked an idea of possibly using all photographs of images to use in my comic book style final piece.
