Alina Surnaite Illustration: September 2014

http://alinasurnaite.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html

Sunday, 21 September 2014. The Story behind Winter Ghost. I took inspiration from the magic of real life, as well as Saint-Exupéry's “Little Prince” and Miyazaki's “Spirited Away”. I had anthropomorphic characters such as Time, Winter, Wind, Darkness, Cold and Silence, which acted as secondary characters in the background. Such concepts would be difficult to comprehend for a very young audience, so eventually they were left out from my picture book. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). I am a freelance artist wit...

Alina Surnaite Illustration: July 2013

http://alinasurnaite.blogspot.com/2013_07_01_archive.html

Sunday, 7 July 2013. Final BA Project Graduation. So I graduated from Vilnius Academy of Art! This project is published on Behance. Now I'm trying to make an English version of my book so more people can understand and appreciate the story. This will be a challenge because translation changes some compositions and the rhyme of the text. Anyways, it's worth giving it a try and improve on working with the text. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Alina Surnaite Illustration: Storytelling in Words and Pictures

http://alinasurnaite.blogspot.com/2014/06/storytelling-in-words-and-pictures.html

Wednesday, 18 June 2014. Storytelling in Words and Pictures. 2 "Little Frog from Trash Kingdom" was my first attempt at making a picturebook dummy during the Children's Book Illustration summer course at Cambridge School of Art. The story originated in Lithuania, when I was cycling on a road full of tiny frogs after a rainy summer day. So small, yet so persistent and adventurous. Where did they come from? Will they reach their destination safely? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Blog of my sister.

Saturday, 1 June 2013. Final BA Project week 17. Spring was so late and so quick. A few more days left to end my final project at the art academy. I'll take some photos of my graduation show on Tuesday. Before that, I need to make some conclusions about my creative process so I can talk about it during the presentation. Here's an overview of the story development during these four busy months. Below you can see how my story begins. I'll show the rest of my finished spreads next week. There's not a single...

Alina Surnaite Illustration: August 2013

http://alinasurnaite.blogspot.com/2013_08_01_archive.html

Monday, 12 August 2013. I'm enjoying my vacation and having a good rest after my graduation. Here are my current thoughts about the willingness to continue studying and learning new things. I feel that there's lots of things I can improve upon. I need to come back to observation from life and master gesture drawing. I realized the value of gesture drawing only this year, after I read Walt Stanchfield. 8220; Draw ideas, not things; action, not poses; gestures not anatomical structures. Most important to t...

Sunday, 2 February 2014. Here is a rather late reflection for my latest picture book project called "Mysterious Book", which I created during the first semester at Cambridge School of Art. I am posting some developmental work to illustrate my creative process. The following are some character studies for my story (family was later reduced to five members):. Below is my early storyboard, which included exhibits turning into creatures and chasing the boy for his mysterious book. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).
