Hi everyone,
Thank you Emma for this class, it was very helpful to see how you tackle an editorial job!
I worked on the same article you did the demonstration with and I have to say that I spent a ridiculous amount of time to find a concept that pleased me... I find it quite difficult to come up with interesting ideas but I guess with practice I'll find my own angle.
I drew tons of sketches with a couple in different situations and couldn't find a satisfying one but at some point I came up with this idea of a vase left to decay. Does it make sens to anyone?
Here is my line drawing that I cleaned and coloured digitally on photoshop :
I worked first on the spread doing a grayscale mockup :
And from there layered my illustration on the different formats that Emma gave us :
I would greatly appreciate if anyone has some feedback, thanks!

Teacher PlusWow! I really like you concept and they way you have placed the illustration in these various layouts. The idea really speaks to me and using flowers as a symbol for life, love and death is such an amazing solution. It works in so many levels. The way you have done the illustration is also so delicate and precise. Your style here with pencil works beautifully. Well done!

@emmahan Thank you Emma for your feedback! I'm glad my concept makes sense with the story. I'm also trying to find my own style after getting lost with different mediums but I really enjoyed combining pencil drawing and colouring digitally because finding the right colour palette is hard... Thanks for your in-depth class!
