Illustration Exploration: Medium. Pencil: My first attempt at creating the characters features and expression. Later decided to try my hand at Digital illustration as my approach involved a more graphic novel feel; at the end of this process I hope to achieve a cleaner, more vibrant result. Features. To show envy/anger, innocence/tolerance. I have been studying expressions to apply them to the key characters in the story. And the range for every character, since it shows their thought/personality/nature. Clothing. I've been hesitant at illustrating their outfits/costumes, because of the variety involved in terms of the arabic dress/outfit, every region has it's own clothing. So for now I'm just working to keep it simple/general yet portray the characters' modesty, age, exuberance etc. through their clothing.
