poem project

Within this project we had to choose a poems from national poetry day. The poem I chose is the red kite I thought about for a bit then decided to help with the illustration is to have some references of the red kite.

After I have some references I started to sketch out ideas of what the illustration could be for this poem.

The sketch I liked the most is the one on the top left I thought that would be a strong visual to represent the red kite.

I started to refine the drawing more and adding in the small animal running away from the red kite showing the fear and power of the red kite.

This was the final out come but there was many mistakes I have made within this illustration such as the drawing need to be separated from the text so it need to be a two spread illustration and with the advice on how to improve it I went back to fix it.

Then I adjusted it to fix my mistakes and to make it a two spread poem illustration.

I did enjoy doing this project and exploring more thing such as I explore more in using texture brush in this digital artwork and Typograph with the texts.

I can now use what I learn and added to future illustrations.
