As a way to practise responding to briefs we started the group book project. The theme of the book is the practise of Illustrators, in order to explore the different areas of the practise we were split into groups and given different topics i.e. careers, promotion,processes,social media.
In my group which was 'Everything else' I decided to research the 'processes' theme as we could pick from any of the themes.
Illustration Processes
The process of actually creating an image can be more complicated then just the way you draw and the medium you use because factors such as idea generation and the way you motivate yourself to work are all part of the Process.

Drawing from observation
From found images
