The World of Cloudsdruff p1

Description

The first page(intro page) for my short illustrated book about the realms of Cloudsdruff ( a TAFE project, but i have been meaning to create some tangible thing for my world). It's this size because its only half a page compared to the double page A5 spreads.

It's a watercolour illustration combined with watercolour Derwent pencils for added detail, lighting and texture. I am very proud with the results of this, along with my other watercolours, as I have little experience in the medium, and they are still reasonably colourful. It's great fun blending colours together in the sky especially! Just detail and lighting can be a bit of trouble (you cannot go backwards with watercolours, what's coloured cannot become white again.)

Each illustration comes with a poem (as long as i could fit for the page). :)

This is the one for this page:

The great quake cracks open the hardened stone,
Like a dying animal it bucks and groans.
And forced up through the chaos a colossal speak,
Taunting man with its mystery to perilous feats.
Up, the fearless clime to nowhere knows,
A secret hidden above the snow.
Twin clouds; one born in light, a realm hallowed,
One in darkness shunned and shadowed.
Long hidden from man’s cares,
The fires of industry and poison air,
Cloudsdruff and Thundersville, divided by river bold,
Their story I shall tell you now, like days of old.
