EXP: Buttercrumble working out

Kathryn had a deadline for print 3 weeks after we first spoke so it made sense for me to start straight away. I highlighted the question and answers sheet that was given to me picking out the main bits that stuck out to me, phrases such as "have courage" "start the day with a smile" 'sweetness is our weakness'.

Going off the main quotes I started to illustrate around them, my first thought with courage was a lion (probably some Wizard of Oz connotations going on in my brain there), and to tie it in with the breakfast theme I put it on a cup of tea. I delved more into the kitchen ware and thought about cutesying it up. The Buttercrumble Twins came across very cutesy and sweet in their interview so I wanted to capitalise on that really.

Next up was drawing the twins themselves, I already know that I want to take the pencil work into photoshop and work into it to further my digital/analogue skills. I used ink to keep my drawing loose when drawing the twins, I sketched different composition ideas out to think if there was a more interesting way to represent them. Kathryn had mentioned how red lipstick was something they used as their trade mark so I tried to think about using that.

The drawing of the hands was the only thing I could think to tie to their answer about being creatives that deal in all areas (illustration, graphic design etc).

I'm going to send these over to Kathryn and see which ones she wants to take forward and what to leave. She wanted a lot of creative control in the making of this zine, the only thing she isn't too bothered about is the colour palette which works out well for me.
