Responsive - Roald Dahl - George's Marvellous Medicine 2

 To left the image contains sketches of layout plans, the character, cupboards, shelves and its contents had to be laid out in a way that it appears to be some sort of pantry in my mind, I think this idea is also relative to the story with a little boy mixing ingredients from his parent's kitchen/ pantry etc.
 Here on the right is the final sketch which i then developed digitally as you can see below. I was sure to take note of the different qualities of line and their thickness to give the image a sense of depth.


For the colours in this image I opted for primary colours for the character and other elements so that they would jump out against the darker background - which i also added texture to using the brush tool to be in keeping with the aesthetic of the rest of the images.

I am pleased with this illustration, I feel that there is movement suggested within it - perhaps due to George being clumsy and knocking the bottles and jars around on the shelf.
