Week 1
For project one I have decided to come up with my own compound word to illustrate. I have decided to choose Lightning bug. I am going to focus on lightning bug for a couple of reasons. First, I think they are really neat and I am curious on how they actually light up. Second, I love everything that has to do with lightning. So when I read that we have to literally illustrate a compound word I was excited to give the lightning bug a try. I am visualizing either a lightning bug that is calling down/surrounded by lightning or I am thinking about making it into a comic style illustration by having the bug be a superhero with the power of lightning. Whatever I decide to do I'm sure I will enjoy illustrating it. Below are some of my initial thumbnail sketches.
