02 // Where I'm Headed

The purpose of this post is to try and convey some sort of an idea of what I see as being my end goal for this course...

It's my ambition to be an illustrator at some point in my career, therefore I'll be focusing on enhancing and developing my skills in this field until - hopefully - by the end of the year, I'll be skilled enough to produce large-scale, narrative driven illustrations depicting a variety of characters in believable settings.

My work already leans towards high-detail, dynamic, bold compositions, with the characters being portrayed in some kind of action, and it's this style I intend to maintain within my illustrations; portraying motion and energy. In terms of narrative however - I'm no writer - I seem to have bottle-necked myself into one-sided stories. This is one of the main things that I would like to amend.

I'll go into more detail about how I intend to remedy that in the next post, but for now, here's a small bundle of images that inspire me, alongside levels of illustration which I see as benchmarks.
