Research for characters for the catalog cover of the israeli museum (educational section)
...one week turned out to be two weeks and a little bit more.
The cover for the catalog is now finished!
I will wait for it to be published before posting it on this site...
Meanwhile, here are the characters appearing on this cover. They are talking or thinking about the exhibitions they just saw - objects from the museum are flying around them.
It was an interesting experience to work with a graphic designer, Shira Sofer. She gave me advices and suggestions that I tried to follow the best I could. Sometime, I went to unsuitable directions and therefore changed course. This feedback really helped me to progress when drawing.
At the same time, I experimented how tricky it is to serve the purpose of the persons who ordered the drawings while keeping the intended spirit and atmosphere of this drawing.
At the end of the day, I am happy because it seems that everybody is pleased and have reached their own target.
We can see the direction of Shira's suggestions when looking at the sketches: from naive and timeless characters we intended to reach a contemporary look. As far as I am concern, I did not want to add "moderns gimmicks" to the drawing so I played with their clothes in order to fit the expected result.
