my progress on shelter has been relatively slow although i am now at a point where i have produced images which fit my revised theme, after some initial pencil sketches i broke out the big brush and ink and began thinking about compositions. this is an incredibly quick way to start an image preventing procrastination on details, allowing for an image to be composed in its entirety quite fast.
i wasn't particularly content with the static nature of the image i had thought of first, this led me to sketch again trying out something new or developing the original concept. i settled for latter, the sketch in the top right was my starting point and seemed to me the strongest of all my ideas.
these sketches on parcel wrap help to outline the staging and also necessary components, it is a good opportunity to experiment with light and shadow. one element which i was keen to incorporate was a family portrait i really wanted to emphasise the nature of the seem, really make it appear this individuals home is in the street- quite literally. i thought this could be easily stretched over two covers by making the front appear very much like the inside of a house with a leak, with the back as a clear portrayal of the street.
