Illustrations

This is my style of drawing for this project I like how simple the drawings are however I am wanting to develop my style so maybe making the illustrations a bit more complicated could work? This will of course be coloured in to help represent the letter box but this something that will take time.



I am still developing my skills in drawing, if I am going to draw buildings which are a lot complicated than people or objects such as the red letter box like above. I think I need to make the drawings a lot simpler than my attempt above maybe play around with blocks of colour?


Something like this maybe I think it will look better having a bit more detail just to define the building a little bit more however I think this looks better than my last attempt. However the other problem I have is that I might not be able to draw images that look hand drawn which I am used to drawing and is ultimately the style I like. 


 Here I have done a more hand drawn image of big ben, this is a lot better than my first attempt as I have played around with the thickness of the pen tool, which has made it a lot better. This is still my style however with a bit more practise I think it will become a lot better looking and more professional.


I do think my last drawings is better just as its a bit more free and very much hand drawn looking, as I want to have this book as a journal of my time in Rome, I think the hand drawn style fits. As they look almost like sketches. When I'm in rome I want to take my own pictures so they the drawing will be more personal.

Here are the drawings in colour which has made my drawings look a lot better.





I have struggled with the drawings side of the project but the idea of doing drawings and photography has made me think a bit better about doing this project.

Here I have chosen to take an image of a sign in London to try out how the sign would look and I actually think this has worked well and I like this better than the drawing of the objects as it looks more interesting and could also be an almost map of where Iv been.


Here is the drawing with a background as I wanted to do this for all of my drawings as it finishes them off well. It makes the image look like it's not floating in mid air, if I choose to do photographs I don't think I would have a background as this would be unnecessary.
