Advanced Illustration 2 ~ detail
This is one of the image which I viewed on tumblr at the beginning of this brief that really inspired my art work. This drawing is by Geneka McCall, I love the minimal colour palette, and I think that the subject matter is really original and wonderful. I think that the nautical theme is easily characterised and looks wonderful when you add personality to it. I think she has achieved this not only with the image of the whale with the house growing out of / placed on top of his back, but also the expression in his face. I love the little sea creatures at the bottom, the birds and trees above water, I think it is these small details which really emphasise the narrative in this image. This image shows off small details everywhere and the more you look, the more you see. There is a tiny little guy sitting fishing on top of the roof, one at the bottom of the garden.. I think it is these small aspects of a design, known as detail, which really make an image great.
