Final Pen and Ink Illustration

Our final project for ANI112A was a pen and ink illustration based on one of the four rhymes we had to choose (Jack be nimble, this little piggy, when I went to St. Ives, Itsy Bitsy Spider). I chose Jack be nimble as my rhyme. This involved making 100 thumbnails of ideas, 25 compositional thumbnails, a couple half-sized drawings, final pencil rendering, and then the final pen and ink illustration. This was an interesting experience. Might do it again sometime. :]
