conversation illustration

what a sensation to produce a conversation illustration!
(shall we also build a dalmatian plantation?)

the assignment is to illustrate an overheard conversation... here's my process:

overheard convo ideas- i chose to illustrate a girl's dream about flowers growing out of her fingers-
and some initial sketches...

the blue is rusty's sketch of a creepy hand... i veered away from that idea...

here's a "tight pencil comp" of the dream.

classmates' comments on the pencil comp.

so i re-did it. rusty liked this comp better... so did i.

marker comp!! the background is gonna be a dreamy-ish blue-gray made by letting the gouache do its thing w/ the H2O. magical things will happen, i'm sure of it.
