This series of illustrations was created for TrulyCo - digital multimedia platform, that is sharing human stories and explore universal connections.
The story is about the educational organisation for latinoamericans in american prisons, which helps them to find their path after they leave the prison. And fights the system, which tends to slow down the process of education and personal development of the prisoners.
ROUGH SKETCHES
After reading the story I grabbed my sketchbook and started to explore the characters and situations that are described in the story.
FINAL SKETCHES
After I learned enough about the character - I was ready to present the final sketches to the client.
COLORS AND VISUAL STYLE
For the colors I've chosen a contrast palette of orange (we all know why) and blue.
I used sharp shapes and lines in this illustrations as a representation not only of the characters of the prisoners but also the tough environment that they grew up in or got into.
THANK YOU!
