HOMEWORK?

I got the call!
 
Well not "the" call but a text message from my niece, "Hi uncle Steve do you have time to talk?"
I called
Me: Hi
Her: what are you up to? Doing any projects?
She wanted to know if I had time to do some artwork for her as part of an assignments for one of her college courses.
Me: How many?
Her: Only 20
Me: By when?
Her: I need them by cousin Marks wedding
Me: That's two weeks away
Her: I know
Me: What class is this for?
Her: Picture book writing (something like that) 
Me: Okay this is what I can do for you


 


So I started...
 I decided to treat it like a book dummy I figured it was the only way it will get done on time.  I broke down her version of Pandora's Box into a storyboard format and picked a handful of sketches to do as finished artwork.
 

    Then I added the text I am no graphic designer so I make no claims that I understand fonts and what works best with illustrations; I did the best I could with what I had to work with.
 




It was a lot of hard work but I got it done on time.
I personally think it should of been an A+ but her school does dot give them out.
