During this critique session, we got into pairs and gave each other feedback on the work. I agree with the feedback and will change some aspects of my work.

# data[].attributes.body
Today we were introduced to the Minor Studio Project , for this project we will choose one of three live briefs to develop further. Subtv, Arts Connect and Anorak. Based on initial impressions, I was more drawn towards Anorak because the style, audience and brief suit the type of illustration I would like to explore further. I also felt more inspired about this brief although I will wait until the Client Briefings to make a final decision!

# data[].attributes.body
In today's session, the three clients came in and delivered presentations about each of their briefs. I took notes from each Client and after hearing all the briefs I decided to stick with my initial impression and go with Anorak for my project.

Anorak Brief Summary

Anorak is a company which creates children's magazines aged 6+ each issue has a different theme and celebrates the joys of childhood. For this brief we have to choose between ANTS or THINKING and create a 2 - 4 paged narrative based on chosen theme. We should think about the pace, narrative arch, environment and protagonists in our work.

For this project, I have decided to go with ANTS because I like to base a lot of my work on nature, and I find the way ants work together and have a society interesting.

To start generating ideas, I created a mindmap for both Ants and Thinking, i did this to start my research into each topic and to fully decide if I still wanted to stick with ANTS. While researching into THINKING and how the brain works, I found it interesting how sections of the brain are for a specific reason and are essentially split into rooms. I did have a few ideas start to form but in the end I decided to stick with ANTS as I liked the idea of the ants being split into different "groups" and how they all work together to complete a goal.

# data[].attributes.body
I used Pinterest to put together a collection of ant imagery, including a few different illustration styles, real ants, ant nests and the life cycle of ants. I find Pinterest a good place to start when developing a new project as I work very visually!

# data[].attributes.body
Before I started to sketch out ideas, I looked through children's books I owned from my childhood to see the types of stories, ways of writing and imagery I enjoyed.

Books:

Little Rabbit Runaway by Henry Horse

Little Lost Unicorn by Lorna Hussey

That Rabbit Belongs To Emily Brown by Cressida Cowell and Neal Layton

Daisy Eat Your Peas by Kes Grey and Nick Sharratt

You Choose by Nick Sharrat and Pippa Goodheart

The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle

I realised a common theme of these books was the characters get lost, meet friends along the way and find a solution to their problems. I also noticed I enjoyed books with illustrations that explore the environment or bright and busy illustrations.

# data[].attributes.body
Little Rabbit Runaway by Harry Horse

This story is about a Rabbit who after getting in trouble with her parents, decides to run away to build her own house. She meets a mouse and they work together to find things to use to live in. They decide to live together as the mouse also ran away. They get in an argument and little Rabbit leaves but gets caught in the rain. They hear a thump on the door and get scared only to discover it was their family come to take them home.

I like the style of illustrations in this book, the watercolour landscapes and how everything is quite sketched out. I think you can tell this especially on the pages which have larger illustrations. I also think that the general moral of the story is sweet.

# data[].attributes.body
Little Lost Unicorn by Lorna Hussey

This book is about a unicorn who decides to go venture off into the forest, all of a sudden he realises he is lost but he runs into a few different forest creatures and they have fun exploring together. He and his new friends were going across a river when the baby rabbit falls. However little unicorn rescues him! although little unicorn is upset that he was so careless. Little unicorns mum appears and says that she knows everything that has happened and reassures him that he is clever and brave.

I love the illustrations in this book, the pages are embossed which adds another element to it. Unicorns are also drawn into the background as the unicorns watching over everyone. Being able to spot unicorns hiding in the illustrations is something I used to love about this book. I also like the texture of the illustrations made by coloured pencil and cross hatching.

# data[].attributes.body
Daisy Eat Your Peas by Nick Sharrat and Kes Gray

This book is about a mum trying to convince her daughter to eat her peas, everytime Daisy says no she adds more things she will allow Daisy to do or get Daisy if she just eats her peas. As it goes on these things get more and more ridiculous until Daisy says she will eat her Peas if her mum eats her sprouts!

The illustration style in the book is quite simple but I liked the repetition and how as you get further into the book the pages become busier and busier.

5/10/24| Enquiry - That Rabbit Belongs To Emily Brown

# data[].attributes.body
That Rabbit belongs to Emily Brown by Cressida Cowell and Neal Layton

This book is about Emily Brown and her toy rabbit called Stanley, they go on adventures such as going to space, motorbiking, deep sea diving and climbing the rainforest. However, they keep getting interrupted by the queens men who want to take Stanley away from her! Emily keeps saying no until Stanley gets stolen. She goes to confront the queen and the moral of the story is it is important to spend time with loved ones and you can never buy the love of a friend.

I like how in some of these illustrations photography and linework are combined by collaging them together. I think it adds to the overall atmosphere of the book and makes it interesting to look at. I also like the texture created in the linework through the use of pencils etc

# data[].attributes.body
I started to develop the style of illustration I will use. I developed how I can illustrate ants in a way which is interesting and appeals to children. I want to give personality to the ants and create an environment which would be fun to explore.

# data[].attributes.body
These are the initial designs for my ants.

I used watercolour and gouache in quite warm toned berry colours to portray the ants. I played with creating texture from the lines on the ants body and also used small lines for the eyes.

# data[].attributes.body
I decided to experiment with different illustration styles for my ants so, I created a bunch of ant heads each in a different colour to see which ones I liked the best.

I experimented especially with the eyes whether to have white behind the eyes or not. I am still undecided about this as I do like the look of it and it creates expression however I also like the simplicity of just the dots for eyes.

# data[].attributes.body
I used my initial physical designs to inform my Digital ones, I turned to digital as it is quicker for me to make colour changes and create versions with little differences. The colours I like most are Purple and Red however I am leaning more towards purple. This version has the eyes as dots however I am will create a version with different eyes to see which works the best.

# data[].attributes.body
The version with white behind the eyes, I like how much character this creates and how big the eyes are. I think it will be easier to create expression with this version as opposed to the smaller eyes.

# data[].attributes.body
I started designing each different job/role the ants have, at this point, I haven't decided on a final story so I am not sure which will be included however I wanted to create an illustration style and establish world-building for my narrative.

Queen Ant

Bigger than the rest of the colony

There's usually only 1 Queen in a colony however sometimes colonies can merge and create a massive nest

The mother to all ants in the colony

With my designs, I like to give the creatures human qualities so I took inspiration from human royalty, what they wear etc and applied it to ants. In my world they make their clothes out of leaves, wood and other natural resources they find. This also helps create a smaller colour palette focusing on natural tones.

# data[].attributes.body
Worker

There are different jobs within the worker category. Foragers, Looking after the young, Caring for the Queen, Maintaining the colony and defence.

As worker ants age the job they are assigned to changes

The oldest workers become Foragers

Make up around 10% of the colony

I designed my worker ant to carry two baskets (to fill with food), a magnifying glass for inspection, a scarf to keep warm and goggles. I took inspiration from the typical explorers' outfit that you may think of.

# data[].attributes.body
Worker - Builder

Scout the area

Digging/Moving soil

Creating the tunnels inside the nest

I designed my worker builder ant to have a hard hat with a light, (although ants do have good night vision) a bucket with some tools, and a tool belt.

# data[].attributes.body
Using my previous sketchbook work, I digitalised one of my favourite versions to see what it would look like in different colours . I did two different versions, one with one eye and the other with two eyes and I chose my favourites, the red and purple ones.

# data[].attributes.body
Using my favourite designs, I played around with the eyes and the smile. I still need to make decisions about having two eyes compared to one and which type of smile to use. However, I may end up using both depending on the angle of the ant.

# data[].attributes.body
In todays studio lab, we created 30 postcard sized drawings based on our chosen brief. I used collage, coloured pens, pencils and paint. Instead of working in the usual way, we worked on 10 at once I hadn't worked in this way before but I found it quite a fast way to create 30 different drawings and to come up with ideas that I maybe wouldn't have thought of before.

With these postcards it wasn't really about how they looked but what ideas they create for our project. As I got towards the end, I started to run out of ideas I zoomed out and zoomed in of the initial picture to start worldbuilding, which I think helped me. I am going to use my favourite ideas and work into them in more detail.

# data[].attributes.body
This is the general outline for a story, when I was a child I loved reading stories that had creatures who acted like humans living in a house, making tea etc so I wanted to create a narrative like that. Based on this I wrote up text for the story.

Narrative

Jeremy the ant loves to make hats

He makes them all sorts of different shapes and sizes

Some BIG

Some small

Some super tall

Bored of life inside, one day Jeremy decides to leave the nest in hopes of sharing his creation with others. His family and friends waved goodbye as he set off on his adventure!

Along his walk, Jeremy comes across a bird struggling to collect sticks for her nest.

"Hello! would you like to use my hat as a basket?" said Jeremy

"Yes please, that would be a great help" replied the bird

Continuing along his journey, Jeremy bumps into a beetle contemplating what to do with all the flowers he has collected.

"Hello! would you like to use my hat as a plant pot?" enquired Jeremy

"What a wonderful idea! Yes please" Exclaimed the Beetle

Up ahead Jeremy spots a ladybird hesitating by the river.

"Is everything okay over there?" asked Jeremy

"I need to cross the river but have no way of doing so" the ladybird sighed

"Would you like to use my hat as a boat?" asked Jeremy

Relieved, the ladybird smiled and said "Thats very kind of you, thank you for the help!"

Satisfied with the days events, Jeremy set off home to tell the tale of his adventure to his family over a bowl of freshly stewed leaves and nectar!

This story may change going forward.

# data[].attributes.body
One thing I am struggling with is how to set out the pages so I have enough space for the illustrations so I typed out the story and experimented in the positions of the text and the images.

Notes/Feedback from Tutorial Groups

Cross-culture fables which were spread through word of mouth despite not interacting with each other there are fables with the same morals/events

A lot of stories have an "evil" character could I include this? instead of it being a 100% happy story, the antagonist could be used to elevate the story

The concept of Rain could be used as the antagonist

Story Idea - The ant goes off to collect more materials to make hats out of, meets creatures in scenarios, it begins to rain, and he gets lost, one of these creatures comes together to guide him back to the Anthill

Create different scenarios that the Ant bumps into - room for experimentation

Character Pages with different expressions

The Worm and the Bird by Coralie Bickford-Smith

# data[].attributes.body
Fable - A short story typically involving animals as characters conveying a moral.

Originally spread by word of mouth

Aesop's Fables

Aesop supposedly was the author of a collection of very famous greek fables. There is a debate as to whether he actually existed or not but he is believed to have been born around 620 BCE with the first collection of Aesops stories being made in the 4th century.

Examples of Aesop's Fables

The Tortoise and the Hare - Slow and steady wins the race

The Ant and the Grasshopper - Work hard today to get ready for tomorrow

The Goose and the Golden Egg - greed destroys fortune

The Boy who cried Wolf - Liars will not be believed even if they tell the truth

# data[].attributes.body
Folktales are spread through word of mouth through family generations and do not have one single author. They are very old, covering a range of different topics. Over the years the stories change and depend on the culture. Although the main themes of these stories are very similar which is interesting because humans who have never interacted think in similar ways creating stories with the same morals.

Folktales

Robin Hood - Stealing from the rich and giving back to the poor

King Arthur, the Knights of the Round Table, the Sword in the Stone - Arthurian Legends, collections of stories about King Arthur and his Knights and Merlin the Wizard - a range of morals including Loyalty and Defence

Jack and the Beanstalk - Bravery, taking opportunities, don't be underestimates

Cinderella - Kindness will be rewarded

# data[].attributes.body
Fairytale - belonging to the folklore genre, fairytales are stories involving some sort of magical element

Grimm Brothers

The Grimm brothers were German folklorists best known nowadays for their dark fairytales.

Fairytales were not originally meant for children, which is why the Brothers Grimm collection of stories are so dark. Originally fairytales were used to pass the time while out working.

The Grimm Brothers saved a lot of folklore tales by writing them down and putting them into collections

Some famous Grimm Brothers tales are:

The Little Mermaid

Cinderella

Rapunzel

Little Red riding hood

Disney

Disney are known for their interpretations of classic fairy tales in a way that is child-friendly. A lot of Brother Grimm tales have been adapted.

The Little Mermaid

Cinderella

Rapunzel

Snow White

Sleeping Beauty

Cinderella has over 500 versions alone in Europe

Ye Xian, Chinese Fairytale

Rhodophis, Greek Fairytale

Cendrillon, French Fairytale

Raisin coatie, Scottish Fairytale

Themes of stories/myths across cultures

Flood

Floods being sent down to earth by the Gods as an act of destruction has been used across cultures. Some examples of this are:

Noahs Arc - God saw how unkind and violent humans had become except Noah so he instructs Noah to build the Ark and how it must have 2 of every animal inside. God then flooded the earth for 6 weeks so much that the entire land was covered in water. After the land was dry, God promised not to create another flood as long as the world was repopulated with kind people.

Deucalion - When humans became mean and greedy towards the Gods Zeus set to destroy them only Deucalion and his wife Pyrrah was saved as they were considered the most righteous. They constructed an Ark. After seeing the destruction they begged for a wish, to create a new humankind. They had to throw the "bones of their mother" behind them meaning stones. Each stone they throw became a human therefore creating a new human race.

These are just a few examples. Common themes include:

Theft of Fire from the Gods

Visiting the Underworld

Creation of the World

Vampiric Creatures

Spirits/Ghosts

Giants

Dragons

Today, we went on Research trips depending on which brief we chose. Since I chose Anorak, I went to the Young V&A, a Children's Museum. I found this trip helpful in seeing the range of styles, colours and types of toys children have played with and enjoyed over the years. There were signs about how to create a story which I found helpful even though they were written for children. I realised that to write a story for children it has to be something that I would have wanted to read as a child. Stories with the most "random" elements create a good story even how illogical it may seem.

# data[].attributes.body
This fits my work because:

I liked the bright colours and shapes used in this toy

It fits into the fables and themes in myths I was researching

# data[].attributes.body
This fits my work because:

I liked how imaginative this image was, and how it is incorporating nature into the stories.

Its also something that I would have been drawn to as a child due to the magical elements.

The text underneath the image invokes imagination

When I was a child, I loved Paddington Bear and even have a version of this toy (albeit rather faded).

I also had this game as a child and played it quite often.

This fits my work because:

In today's workshop, we worked on creating a Narrative in a Non-Linear way, this helped me think about my story from a different perspective. Before this session, I wasn't show which story to go with. I had two different ideas by seeing these ideas next to each other and roughly drawn out I was able to choose which one I preferred.

For this task, I created a story which started off the same but at one point different decisions led the ant into different predicaments. Going one way would lead to him being blown away, the other he would get swept into the river. However these stories both end up with the same ending of his friends coming to rescue him.

In today's session, we recieved peer feedback as well as client feedback. It was good to see everyones work and how we each interpreted the brief differently. Here is a list of the main points I received:

Think about the setting of the story

Prefer the lighter coloured illustrations as they are easier to look at

Well developed characters

Shorten the story to make more space

Keep the texture of physical watercolour sketches to my digital designs

Reminds them of vintage bug cartoons from eastern europe

Work could benefit from a slightly thicker lineart

I also received feedback from the client which was really helpful.

Love that I have gone for a fable inspired tale

Love the message of the story

Love the compositions and various perspectives

The sketches are great

To Improve Upon:

Cut down elements of the story (I will remove either the ladybird, the mouse character or both) this will focus the story and I will have more space on the page

Watch that colours don't overpower the linework. (I will rework the colour palette to have lighter colours)

To Do going forward

Background experimentations

Colour experimentations

Reworking the story and adjusting the layout to suit the newer story

Since in my feedback, I got comments about where my character was set and what the environment looked like I decided to work on the backgrounds. For this iteration, I chose to focus on the background for my beetle illustation. I drew his house in 3 different ways. This first one I drew from quite far away however, I realised that with the little space I had this wouldn't be able to be used. I wanted to focus more on my character.

The next Iteration I decided to do was focusing on the lineart. I got some comments about my lineart, some saying I should do slightly thicker lineart and others saying my colours overwhelmed the lineart. For this iteration, I decided to play with soft colours. However, I got some feedback while completing this task, which said that if I go forward with soft lineart, the character might blend into the background. I will see when I put the character onto the background if this is the case and will change my work accordingly.

This is a potential layout idea for Page 1

This is a potential Layout for Page 1 however, I am unsure if the background is too dark.

This is a potential layout for page 2

This is my realised pages 1-2. After the feedback and looking at how the pages looked printed out next to each other I decided to change the second page entirely. I felt like the original page was a bit mismatched and didn't work well with page 1. I liked how page 1 looked taking inspiration from the anthill so I continued this over into page 2.

I also changed where the text will go, I made the background lighter so it is easier to read.

I didn't change a lot about these pages as I liked the amount of white space there was but I did change the handwritten text to a font.
