At this point I'm not sure where I'm going with this brief but I know I need to figure it out soon and get on with it as the final illustrations are due mid January!
I began by practicing drawing horses as, whilst I don't want to make an obvious outcome, horses are a pretty integral part of the story that can't be missed out! This was the first time for a while I had to do such visual practice and research for a project and I think it would be useful for other projects too.
I began drawing my responses to the plot of the book but soon found that due to time constraints that it isn't really feasible to draw the whole book before going back into it again.
I started to think vaguely about book covers as a starting point but am definitely struggling. I don't want to create a lazy outcome but I find that War Horse is quite a literal book and it's hard to not just illustrate what is physically happening in the book. I'm questioning whether it's enough to just illustrate the plot line but in an aesthetically interesting way. It's a definite contrast to my Murakami project.
