Claustrophobia
The photo for my 5.1 spread would not upload so I can’t visually show it, but basically for my fifth work I focused on claustrophobia (the fear of enclosed spaces. I wanted to used either watercolor or sharpie pen for this. For my idea I was having trouble trying to avoid cliches like someone stuck […]
Hitting a Few Roadblocks
For my second spread of my fourth piece, I tried to focus on working out the composition of my artwork.

Originally I was going to solidify my idea to the second page with the hand, but after some consideration and suggestions, I decided that, that idea was a little too overused. Although the hand […]

So in this first spread I decided to work through brainstorming and finding some inspiration for how I wanted to execute my piece. I decided that for my media […]
