More Spot Illustration Sketches

Hi Guys! Small intestine or large intestine? Which layout do you like better before I start working on a final/ color version... Thank you!! Kate

Hey everyone,  I'm beginning to catch up with all my homework this week.  I'm posting some prelim sketches, I'm going between two ideas.  The first record is the Largest Tea Party, the idea is to have a table stacked with cups, saucers, teapots, sugar, spoons, crumbs, wrappers, etc.  

The second record is the Oldest Message in a Bottle.  The first sketch is of Shetland, UK (the sight of where the bottle was found 92 years 229 days later) and the bottle is jetting out from the ocean, kind of like an "X marks the spot" concept. I put in some crop marks, it is a tricky composition for an article. I'm wondering if it will be able to work.  

The next record is the Oldest Message in a Bottle.  Basically, the sketch is of a giant bottle (there should be a scroll inside, I might have forgotten to draw it in).  I'd like for the bottle to display the article title.  I'm thinking that the label on the bottle could be partly peeled away and the text could be written on that.  

the two little thumbnails are examples of page layouts.

Any suggestions on which record I should go with?  Also, what is the next step for the assignment??

thanks,

Kacie

World Record Spot Illustration

This is the place to post that revised sketch/comp for the world record piece before Tuesday morning. Make it very clear of course, but explore some media in your process of working out this image, and post a second color versions if you like. Don't post files that fill a big screen, think laptop size when posting, so folks can see your entire image in the blog without scrolling. (800px x 800px at 72 dpi should be maximum size for posting an RGB jpg.) 

This is professional correspondence, say hi, explain what your posting, and conclude with enthusiasm about the next step. Think of it as all of us working on the same team, the same project. Its Ok that it be fun, but not to informal, and you shouldn't try to lay it on too thick, if you know what I mean. Looking forward to viewing your comps on Tuesday. I think that part of your job as an illustrator is making this an enjoyable experience for yourself, turning this into your dream job.

I expect to need some help with the blogging techno stuff, if something isn't working let me know.

Thanks,

Paul
