Project 2: Editorial Illustration:

 

For the next project you will be creating an editorial illustration for use to accompany an article in a magazine, printed or online.

 

The illustration must be created using a limited palate of black, white, and 1 other color and should be made using a combination of traditional drawing / inking skills and digital coloring.  Final art should be made to fit the real magazine’s specs. (Approx 9” x12”)

Final work will be judged on the uniqueness, clarity and cleverness of overall the concept, utilization of composition, skillful use of media, use of a full range of value, and of course overall technique.

Based on your Research and Brainstorm and the Thumbnails you created IN CLASS,
