IF-trail

In my Book Illustration class, we have to do a book dummy for our own story. This is the copyright and dedication page. Rex is leaving a trail of footprints and pieces of eggshell.

Book Illustration

These are some of my sketches from my book dummy. My book is about a boy named Christopher who found what he thought to be a rock but actually it's a dinosaur egg. When the egg hatches, a baby dinosaur named Rex is born. They quickly became friend. Christopher tries to hide his new friend from his father (an engineer) who is busy building his machine for the big air race. Christopher juggles between taking care of Rex and helping his father out for the race. Will the father and Christopher win the race?

Linocut_Time Statue

I really like this composition because it looks simple and　elegant. I find it interesting that both the elements, butterfly and time. are moving elements but because they are statue, their beauties just froze there for us.

Linocut_LUCK

For this piece, I want to come up with a simple composition. I also want it to be Chinese theme. So I decide to draw two koi fishes in a pond with lily pad flowers. The Chinese character mean Luck. Koi fishes is said to be good luck. My professor joked that the two Koi fishes represent my twins and me and that we are lucky to have each other.

Designing with Type

This some of my old assignments i did for my Designing with Type class. The first two, he gives you a typeface and a topic and you have to illustrate that. (Ex: Futura Black, Tension). The third one is Directional Comprehension Project where you could illustrate any word with the given direction. (Ex: Upside down, i pick the word "Tree"). At time i just put the word upside down but my professor said, you could make the "T" look like the trunk and the "ree" like the leaves. So that the word actually look like a "Tree."
