Group book project

After talking to my lecturer it was decided that my previous image did not greatly reflect my best illustrative skills. This is because I was focusing on clearly communicating the idea of using tools so I did not think to add elements such as figures that I would use in my other illustrative works.

I went back to drawing roughs and added an artistic character. I wanted him to be bringing the tools towards himself to fuel and produce his ideas and was influenced by Inspector Gadget's hands in his hat. I used a wider variety of media including ink wash and marker pens that I had not used in the first attempt that helped produce a more successful outcome.

'Tools' final version

It is important to have an image that reflects my style and skills as this is a publication so is a way of getting my work seen.
