Hi, guys!
So, as I mentioned in my introduction entry I have graduated from the University recently. I have a bachelor degree in Fine arts now and in my diploma is also written that I can work as an art teacher in regular schools, art schools, art studios etc. Despite the disadvantages of our higher education, there were a few uni tasks of my personal interests during different semesters and the point of one of these was to create book illustrations.
I choose the book I really like a lot when I was a child. It was about the adventures of little chicken by famous Ukrainian poet Tamara Kolomiets.
I designed my own characters. I was trying to find some early sketches recently but unfortunately didn’t found them. Anyways, I don’t think they were interesting because I remember that we haven’t much time for this project and it must be finished pretty soon so I did REALLY inaccurate concept sketches :)
So here is the cover of the book. I made a window for my little chicken :)
Here it peeps out the window!
It's my favorite part of the book. Because of this adorable snail :)
And here the adventures of little chicken begins!
More adventures...
My little artist <3
And the end of the book! Here I wrote information about for what age is this book intended and who made illustrations :)
Here are some fragments of illustrations, so you can see more closely my cute little creatures:
Yes, the book was pretty small, but it was not the point to create a big masterpiece. This was like a little training before some bigger stuff. In my case, it was my diploma work or final project, and I will write about it soon, so stay tuned!
