EDITORIAL ILLUSTRATION one
Working from a photo I took on the sketch day I tried to find create an image which conveyed the sense of intimidation I used to feel about the area when i was young. To me the area used to feel very urban and oppressive, the buildings and structures were poorly kept and without much to do to engage a young lad it was quite a bleak, boring and depressing place.
The use of more hurried inaccurate lines in Dylan Gibsons illustration really conveyed the landscape and perspective of the older urban architecture in a city so I drew on that to try and give that same claustrophobic menacing feel.
I didnt want to use much or any colour as i didnt want to lighten the image, but using a little in the street lamps again heightens the atmosphere of the picture.
