Chirldren's Book Development








These are some of my final outcome at will be featured in my children's book. The mothers house was a simple us of shape not to much detail as it will over power the over image because their are other images that are more important. The Lions fighting was a challenging aspect of my work because to research the shape of what a lion looks like as well as making sure that it doesn't look like the photograph presented a challenge. But overall I felt the outcome was very successful and will be interesting to see what they look like along side the text and the Angry Lion next to it.


Pages 3 & 4 or the Children's Book
The Hawk giving Hugo the magical feather, as you no I work always producing my illustrations serperatly so even towards the end of the brief I will never no what they look like together until I see if in its location or in a digital format. The hawk was a struggle for me, my drawing skills are good but their were times even I couldn't make that hawks wing into looking like a hand, but with advice and support and the relevent research I need I think the final outcome was very successful the detail on the wing is simple compared with the detail on the Hawk's face which is the focal point on that page, and also adding the feather combined the piece together to tell the story of the text.


These two piece's are from different area's of the book, but they are my favouite elements that I wanted to capture for my final outcomes.
Piece one: After Hugo found out his Princess was gone he went to search for her, I decided for this piece I wanted to look more at angels and points of view, looking down at a map is having the child look though the eye of Hugo as he plans his way to find his princess. The hands are simple shapes, allowing the focal point to be the detail on the map. Over the outcome I felt was very successful and represented my thought process of different layouts and view points. The ANGRY Lion was one of my more simple pieces considering detail on  the face and adding depth of field, showing the lion jumping out from behind a bush add element of surprise and excitement to the story, this piece will also be a double page spread to add more drama along with the text and the 2x Lions fighting.
