This series of illustrations was done for a tutorial book on brainstorming. After different sketches and...brainstorming sessions the client and I decided to go with a continuous line technique, showing a clear start and end point, illustrating the process one goes through from creation of an idea to implementation or finalization.
Continuous line drawings are done without lifting your pen or pencil off the paper.
I was familiar with this style but never actually tried it out. I honestly really enjoyed it and it is something I want to experiment with more. The challenge lies in your decision of what to show and what not to show, you are forced to think about what details to keep and which ones to omit. You also have to plan your route out before starting in order to avoid the : "I drew the mouth but how to i get up to the ear?" moments.
The book was written in the form of a quest/journey and the illustrations serve as decisions or options the reader has to make.
