This is a double page illustration concept for my narrative illustration unit on which I have chosen to do Irvine Welsh's Trainspotting.
This illustrates one of the first few chapters in the book in which 'Rentz' has decided to try to kick his heroin habit, he has a carefully put together plan listing all the things he will need to do so.
He mentions at one point after proudly ticking off the items in his list, that he will just need 'one more hit' to help him get over the first night... unfortunately for him this proves ridiculously troublesome and things take a humorous and disappointing twist.
So this illustration is basically showing 'Rentz' picturing himself carrying out his ideal plan with all of his drug kicking necessities .. I just felt that putting emphasis on his plan to get one last hit, would set up the reader for a bigger fall when he does not manage to get his last 'hit'.
At the moment I am still playing about with colours, hues, saturation etc until I am happy with the image, here are some that I have completed so far. ..
