I created these black, white and gold illustrations to a really quick deadline as I had only given myself two days to do them in order to spend time on my other briefs too. I really enjoy doing this type of work with portraits etc. However I don't think it pushes me very much. I basically worked to a reference image completely - this was the brief set for me as I was actually given the reference photographs and because I was collaborating with someone else I didn't feel comfortable changing anything in the images. Yet if I was to do these again it would be a good challenge for me to see how I could push them further by playing with proportions and symbolism... at the moment I think they are a bit straightforward as stand alone illustrations - however in the context of the book that they have been created for they do go alongside text so this should help to correspond to a bigger meaning.
I added red and cropped some of these images for my website, find these versions on the link below...
