I've started to focus on producing illustrations from the story this week, as shown below. I've been drawing less character designs as although they have been helpful for me to get a foothold on the different characters' personalities and demeanours, they won't be the main focus of the images.
There's quite a lot of fantastical imagery in the story, and I want the main emphasis to be on the mood and atmosphere.
Next week I plan on playing around with material more and some different colour palettes, perhaps more muted but with one single bright colour. I really like the colour palettes of some of the traditional fairy tale illustrations such as by Edmund Dulac and Kay Nielsen, so I will be referring back to them for inspiration. I'm aiming to keep my images contemporary, with a hint of traditional fairy tale.
