Anorak 'happy mag for kids'

Final design for the magazine. I personally feel i could have resolved & produced a stronger illustration. I spend to long on this brief, during this project i have been learning more skills on illustartor & found myself using it more & more when i mayb should have taken a step back and consistered using prodomately my drawing skills & just touched up on the mac afterwards.

Just had some consctructive feedback from my crit, although i have drawn a varity of characters based on the winter theme, i have used alot of pen & pencil and need to look at thickness of line more and use of media. The composition is poor, i have not broken out of the frame i have created, i need to begin looking at cropping into my illustration to make it look more interesting. The characters & colouring are to traditional, maybe more suitable for a chocolate xmas calendar(not the resolution intend to create). I need to go back to my initial sketchs.

Things to do;

Work with composition
Back to drawing board, working on character design
Colour

This is where i am up to for thew final design for the anorak cover. I will be showing this in my my crit aswel as the character development and initial ideas.
