Project Goal
Illustrate a book cover for Winnie The Pooh
Summary: This illustration depicts a scene from “IN WHICH WE ARE INTRODUCED TO
WINNIE THE POOH AND SOME BEES”. I was heavily inspired by the classic pen-and-ink
illustrations of children’s books from the past and wanted to preserve the nostalgia of
the story. A personal goal of mine was to illustrate primarily in one-stroke lines.
These provide a sense of movement to the illustration, as one can see how
an illustrator moved their pen.

Sketch
From the start of conception, I wanted to utilize elements such as the title, beehive , and Pooh to guide a viewer's eyes down a zig-zag line.
