The first illustration, with the snow scene, became the main illustration and appeared in color. So I think with the THUD illustration, I was aiming to create a contrast between outside the bus and inside the bus. Maybe I should have just designed it in black and white to begin with. Then again, I didn't know which one they would choose for color.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18141247380735001971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16836183.post-32803915928046846572010-07-19T23:06:19.655-05:002010-07-19T23:06:19.655-05:00I really like some of the contrast of opaque color...I really like some of the contrast of opaque colors I've noticed in your work. The style is a little more... graphic(?) I'm talking about elements like the THUD, combined with the burst illustration below, all on the solid yellow background. I think it would be cool if the inside of the bus were colored this way too. I think it was a great choice to stay with one bus driver character, in order to help give readers some visual continuity to go along with the written narrative.Peterhttp://www.measurecutcut.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16836183.post-32484696069085336692010-06-30T22:45:45.512-05:002010-06-30T22:45:45.512-05:00The second one is fantastic.The second one is fantastic.N_Straighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05452986440716897722noreply@blogger.com
