The 52 week illustration challenge for 2017 begins

21/1/2017

This challenge for illustrators has been going for a few years, but this is the first time I am giving it a go. At the beginning of the year a list is posted online containing a list of weekly themes. http://illo52weeks.blogspot.com.au/search/label/2017%20themes
 
Illustrators can then post their efforts for each weekly theme on social media with the #illo52weeks hashtag. Mine are getting posted to Twitter @VJCavanagh .

So far I'm using different paper for this challenge, both in manufacturer and in size (170mm x 235mm), and I've been using nib ink too.

Week 1's theme was Whimsy. Here is the ink only version:

And the coloured one

Week 2's theme was Feathered Animals.

And here's the difference colour makes...

Week 3's theme was Australiana (in time for Australia Day on 26 January)

And let's add some colour...

So far the challenge has been fun. It is a pleasant change to have such an open ended brief to work with. Should I remember, I'll go for medium compression rather than full compression from here on in with this size paper because the full compression isn't giving a good online image.

Week 4 is an Ode to a favourite children's book....however I haven't yet decided what my favourite children's book is yet.
