These are the final illustrations for the Buttercrumble brief, they took me 1.5 weeks to finish overall. I was pretty pleased with them, especially since I've got some new photoshop brushes this was the perfect time to test it out.I used the same blue and red in each illustration just to tie them all together, I also used the same brushes to they all shared the same texture.
The only problem I had was with the 'communication' one, no matter how much I tried I just couldn't work a way to get the colour palette to work, so I kept the same brushes and chose a different selection of colours. I informed Kathryn of this, but she was more concerned with the actual illustration rather than the colours. I think it was the only thing that niggled at me really, I wish i'd spent more time trying to fit it in.
The drawing of the twins proved quite hard as I knew it would be, I spent far FAR too long trying to make it work and in the end had to step away and leave them til last. This worked out well for me because by the time I got to the end, I had an established brush and an established colour palette to work with!
My favourite one from this collection is definetly the spot illustration for the 'working with Independent Leeds' answer. (this is the small magazine open with small bits of leeds inside). I think it works the best out of all of them, perhaps because it's mostly a line drawing and the others have variant degrees of shading???
Moving forward from this project I think maybe line illustration for the quick editorial pieces is the way forward!
