Colour theory
Rough plan of illustrations

This project was started off by creating a colour wheel and refreshing my knowledge on colour theory. I found this process a little bit tedious as I was just recapping on things I was already aware of, but it was good to verify anything I wasn't 100% clear on. Then I created three illustrations (first two are abstract and third is digital) that represent a passage in Darren Shan's Book Demon Apocalypse:
"I'm rushed towards the window. The flames peel away from me. The window gets bigger and bigger as I fall upon it. I just have time to worry about what will happen when I flash through and smash into the ground on the other side. Then I hit it and everything goes green."
"I land hard on the floor of Baranabus's cave..."
I think my use of colour in the first two illustrations worked well in abstractly conveying what was happening in the book. The first one uses a spectrum of colours between red and yellow to symbolise fire and the second used tones of green to illustrate Darren's vision. In my digital illustration I feel like the colours I used for the jacket and blanket are too bright a tone to work well with the lighting in the cave, so I would like to darken them. However, in the time I had I feel as though I produced three images that convey the text rather well.
