Editorial Image - Development

For two of the articles, the supporting images I have produced are hand-rendered illustrations. The 'Doctor-Doctor' article was based around personal questions sent in from readers and I thought that something drawn by hand would reflect this aspect. Below is the original sketch I did of; a glass of water, a box of tissues and some paracetemols - this was meant to link directly to one of the questions asked by a reader about the common cold. 



The other drawing was of a swear jar which featured in the Tim Dowling article and I thought that this was one of the strongest parts of his column that provided a strong enough visual aspect. I also did a smaller drawing to compliment the swear jar of one of the sad face stickers that the journalist talked about which helped to fill the space of the awkward given shape.




The fineliner sketches were scanned in and then filled with colour on Photoshop to leave a clean and simple illustration with delicate lines and pleasing flat colour areas.
