The beginning of my Illustrations

After experimenting with my colour palette and the photographs of peoples hands, I began sketching thumbnails for Illustration ideas.

Rather than having flowing brush strokes I am blotting out the loose ink with a tissue and it think it works well, and with reflection of the book as Christian expresses control over all things, to an odd degree. I am keeping odd control over my water colours. As the book furthers, I losing more and more control over my illustrations as Christian starts to lose control over his actions as Ana leads him more and more into temptation unwillingly.


Above is my thumbnails for the red room, my favorite illustration idea for this are Mr. Greys collection of whips, though the red in the opposite illustrations are bright and catch your eye. I believe this red is the best too use as its an angry and passionate colour and the sexual activities both Mr.Grey and Ana indulge in, are not Vanilla. BDSM is aggressive and is an act of one inflicting pain on the other. The sadist and the masochist.
