Illustrations
I started to map out different keywords from the article.
I then drew some thumbnails to visualise my thoughts and other ideas I got from the narrative.
I did some ink tests on paper to test out texture and style.
Once I decided on a motif, I started to draw out some iterations. I first began with a pencil iteration.
I then moved on
to ink and wash, which proved to
be somewhat challenging.
I experimented with different textures, shades of black, and the amount of water and “splatter” used for the motif.
When I had settled on the iteration I liked best, I then proceeded to have it cleaned up in PS before adding it to the article-template.
