Narrative Illustration

Posted byx 175 Comments on Narrative Illustration

In our design project, our task was to Illustrate a creature in Adobe Illustration, and the creature is based on the characteristic of the main character from our flash fiction story in English. The characteristic of our main character is translated into those characteristics of an animal, and this is how we created our creature.

My English flash fiction Story is about a dog named Twitter, who got abandoned by his owner and left in a park. The park is a place that the dog is unfamiliar with.

I started to think of the characteristics of my main character. With these traits, I searched online for some animal stereotypes that are associated with these character traits. Then I began to sketch an idea for my character. The traits include: happy like a dog, coward like a chicken, energized like a rabbit and shy like a turtle. We learned in class about linear perspective and about how to draw lines to show perspective. We had to put some linear perspective into our illustration, but I didn’t know where to fit this in, so I decided to design a cabin in the background. The most difficult part of this project was dealing with the software itself, (Adobe Illustrator) because I didn’t know how to use that software before. In my story, when there is the scene of the dog getting abandoned, the sky is grey, so I decided to give my character some winter clothes like a sweater and gloves. I decided that instead of using a park like in my story, to place my Illustration in the forest. This is because the forest is vast and it’s a metaphor for feeling like a small creature in the real world. I am very pleased with my work, and I think I did a great job. If I could change something, maybe I could add some details like shadows to the character and the environment.

  27. Sweet blog! I found it while surfing around on Yahoo News. Do you have any suggestions on how to get listed in Yahoo News? I’ve been trying for a while but I never seem to get there! Thank you

  35. Thanks for these tips. One thing I should also believe is that often credit cards presenting a 0 apr often appeal to consumers along with zero rate, instant endorsement and easy on the net balance transfers, however beware of the real factor that is going to void your current 0 easy road annual percentage rate plus throw anybody out into the poor house quick.

  172. Today, I went to the beach front with my kids. I found a sea
    shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said
    “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She
    put the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and
    it pinched her ear. She never wants to go back!
    LoL I know this is completely off topic but I had to tell someone!

  173. Hey there would you mind sharing which blog platform you’re using?
    I’m looking to start my own blog soon but I’m having a tough time selecting
    between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal.

    The reason I ask is because your layout seems different then most blogs and I’m looking for something unique.
    P.S Sorry for getting off-topic but I had to ask!

  174. Aw, this was an incredibly nice post. Finding the time
    and actual effort to generate a great article… but what
    can I say… I hesitate a lot and never seem to
    get nearly anything done.
