Today I had a workshop with Illustrator Salvatore Rubbino. He was helping us explore the ideas and approaches to creating a wordless narrative.
Salvatore gave many great tips on how to create and structure a narrative. He suggested that when we plan a narrative, we draw out each frame on a different piece of paper, that way we can move scenes around or slot ones in that we feel may suit the flow of the story better.
I chose to illustrate a sequence from 'Haroun and the Sea of Stories' for this workshop, as I am still unsure as to which book to pick.
I chose this section of the novel as it's very descriptive and contains a lot of vivid imagery. In this scene Haroun is describing the houseboat he is on, the windows and the furniture. I chose to illustrate this section in the exciting way that Salvatore suggested, bringing the figures in the windows to life.
