Group book project

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.

- Creating an image from drawings:
     Drawing from observation
     From found images
     From imagination
     Rough sketches
     Thumbnails
     Experimenting with colour/ technique

-Techniques
      Medium- pencil,pen,paint, watercolour acrylic oils, inks, colour pencil,washes, digital, 3D, collage
      Print techniques: etching,softroller,risograph,lithograph,woodcut, sttencil print,screenprint
Tools- basic drawing tools, scraps, bits you find and collect, the location, angle, perspective, everyday objects.
   
-Preparation
Work environment, how you prepare to start work
Motivation, want to achieve from creating the work

Idea Generation
