01.10.18 - 08.10.18 (Week 6 - Week 7)

Our second project require us to illustrate a narrative that is a myth or a folktale. We were recommended to illustrate a story that we can choose from Edgar Allan Poe's stories or poetry. Accordingly, I chose 'The Purloined Letter' to be visually illustrate for this project.

15.10.18 (Week 8)

I sketched all the main character that are in the story after understanding it to make me easily visualise the story later.

I made some sketches so that my idea to illustrate the story become clearer.

After that, I draw and improve the drawing in the Adobe Illustrator using brush tool.

I made some panels and Mr. Hafiz said he likes it because I draw it with nice perspective. Unfortunately, he said that the shape of panels I made was too boring. He suggested to use different shape besides square and rectangle. 

Mr. Kannan also suggested me to draw some introductory panel in order to make the story I conveyed clearer.
