I didn’t plan on taking these gestures anywhere when I drew them, but I had some time to kill and started playing around with things. Here are a few of the original drawings and a side by side comparison of the source gesture and the final painting.
A map to be used as the splash page for a novel. I worked iteratively, aiming to represent the author’s vision as closely as possible while working within time and budget constraints.
Created with: Graphite, Colored Pencil, Marker and Pen & Ink
This project started with several quick ideations [1] and color comps [2] followed by another round to refine concepts and tighten up the drawings [3,4]. The final drawing [5] was transferred onto marker paper and rendered [6] to complete the image.
