The Master and Margarita: Final Images

These are some my final images from my project on The Master and Margarita. The images represent my own personal take on the novel, rather than attempting to show the narrative in a direct way. This probably won't be my last post featuring work from that project as I've got a lot of it on the 'to scan' pile.

Images drawn using Concentrated inks on watercolour paper, scanned and assembled in Photoshop.

V&A Student Illustration Awards 2012 Entry

I've submitted some of my work to the V&A Student Illustration Awards, which you can see on the V&A site here.

The images (which I'll post below because a blog post just isn't a blog post without images) are from my current project, but the ones I selected are more related to my research than the actual storyline of the Master and Margarita novel, because everything is in storyboards and up in the air at the moment.

The colours in this one weren't this garish when I pressed save in Photoshop, I swear. Tweet

The Master and Margarita: Two Day Book Project

This week we were set a two day book project by visiting illustrator Maureen Valfort to create book spreads and a cover combining our existing illustrations with type. These are the spreads we were asked to create using digital type, I tried to pick extracts from the novel The Master and Margarita that fitted well with the images.

Some More People of Moscow

These are a continuation of me studying the photos of Henri Cartier-Bresson for research. I've tried to make them a bit looser and done the ink blob portraits thing that is a bit of an illustration student staple, but I've tried to make it my own.

This second set is a bit more of a worked up version of the faces, but I'm not sure if I prefer the simpler ones.

The People of Moscow

As part of my project based on The Master and Margarita by Mikhail Bulgakov, I've been looking at some of Henri Cartier-Bresson's amazing street photography, in particular the from the book The People of Moscow. The portraits I've been drawing in response to the photos have started to shape the style of my project so I thought I'd post them up here to give an idea of what I'm up to.
