Project Type: Book Illustration & Sequential Visual Storytelling Project Overview: A contemplative illustration concept for literary fiction, centered on a woman in her fifties who repeatedly returns to the shoreline, questioning her connection to the sea. The visual approach uses restrained black-and-white linework, simplified coastal scenery, generous white space, and a faceless central character to preserve the story’s emotional ambiguity. Creative Approach: Minimalist, hand-drawn visual direction Consistent character proportions and positioning Subtle variations in posture, shoreline, waves, and surroundings Quiet compositions designed to sit alongside printed text Delicate ink textures and understated environmental details Proposed Deliverables: Approximately 50 sequential illustrations, iterative draft reviews, and final artwork prepared for the book's page layouts. Objective: Create a cohesive visual language that complements the manuscript without overpowering its literary voice.
