52 Week Illo: 07 - Botanical

"I wasn't doing anything... " - final image
In creating the illustration for this theme, I wanted to use as reference a photo taken in the arboretum, of a little white flower bush (don't know its name, unfortunately). I really liked the delicacy of the flowers and how dense they grew to each other, forming a white beautiful carpet.

Despite the beautiful setting though, I still didn't have a story. Simple pretty flowers were not good enough to make an interesting image. Something needed to happen there, so I started sketching some bunnies in the hope some idea will jump at me. And it did! It was that of a bunny looking straight up, like he's being caught in the act of doing something mischievous, and now he's playing the candid innocence card... low-lying ears towards the back, big wide eyes fixating on you without a blink, and of course mouth stopped from chewing...

That's how "I wasn't doing anything" line came up, and it kind of cracked me up... :)

Garden
This week's prompt was Garden. I used as source of inspiration an image from my thesis presentation, which in fact was an aquatic scene. I really loved the color combination from there and even though it wasn't the "right" one for an "earth garden", I still decided to use it in the image. So the result was a bit of surrealist color combo...

52 Week Illo: 04 - Ode to favorite children's book

The Little Prince
Week four's theme was "Ode to favorite children's book".

From all the children's books I read, none of them spoke to me as personally and profoundly as The Little Prince, by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. Even though, come to think of it, I didn't even read it in my childhood, but later on in my 20s...

I debated a lot in my head what subject to represent in the image, and I finally decided to go with the most essential idea that the entire boy's adventure is centered around, that of LOVE. The Little prince, on his small planet, sitting on a chair and watching a beautiful sunset together with his loved one.

I leave you with the gift the fox gave the Little Prince, before they parted:


"Here is my secret. It is very simple: It is only with the heart that one can see clearly; what is essential is invisiblee to the eye."
