My project for course: Introduction to Children’s Illustration

My final project consists of two parts:
Part One.
Illustrations to the fairy tale "The Elephant's Child" by Rudyard Kipling. In course of creating illustrations, I used a variety of techniques suggested by Adolfo Serra. What I like most is combining techniques and mixed techniques.
I made many attempts before creating the three final illustrations.

Part Two.
The series of images "Battle Animal Cubs", which I made… by accident.
When I introduced myself and drew an image that was supposed to present me, I created a brave little elephant with a bottle of Molotov cocktail and the Ukrainian national flag in his trunk. Because in my peaceful Ukraine the war is in full swing. Russia has attacked us and started the mass invasion. Therefore, this elephant becomes my response to a new reality, full of unusual threats due to Russia's agression.
After that, I drew with my friend Yuriy Sabelnikov a series of postcards with animal cubs. We voluntarily distribute them to support and raise th
spirits of our soldiers who defend us.
I think it is worth sharing this cycle with you, because the idea to create these cards was invoked by the course tasks.
