Holà!
These are my 3 final illustrations of the book "The Secret Garden" by Frances Hodgson-Burnett. I had not read the book for a while but remembered that I had really liked it a while ago. When I dived into it again for this project, I realized just how beautiful this story is and at times I had tears in my eyes. Also, I listened to my playlist while reading it and it really helped me when drawing to recall all the details and atmosphere.
As I usually work digitally and love to go into detail, I decided to do my project digitally. I made textures with the techniques presented by Adolfo and then scanned them and used them digitally (working with Krita, an open source illustration program). While the two first illustrations are closer to the text and mostly a representation of it, the third one is a bit more abstract with the secret garden presented within a birds nest, as it seemed a good symbol for me to represent the comfort and place of new beginnings that the children found in the garden. While drawing, I also realized, that this picture is also a good symbol for the time that we are all in with the current Covid-19 crisis. We are all locked in somewhere, but it's up to us to create something beautiful in confinement and take the chance to let new things grow and prosper. Thank you @adolfoserra for inspiring us and helping us grow our very own "garden".
Any comments on my illustrations are welcome. I still want to learn more about character development, as it seems like all my characters always turn out a bit the same and I really want to achieve a more individual expression of character. Any tips or links to classes about that are welcome too :-)
thanks so much!
