I experimented with different styles by replicating the same drawings in different ways. This was to see how much style effects the look of a piece and how style effects communication objectives.

| This is my main character from one of the panels from my sequential illustration. I experimented with simple styles and more detailed styles. |

| I found that the more detailed styles definitely worked better for conveying emotion as you can add more information with the detail and therefore better inform the viewer of how a character is feeling. This all depends, though. There are simple styles that are very powerful. the second image up is a style that I think is more suited to 'how to' leaflets and is not a good style to portray emotions as it seems flat and loses depth. Whereas the first drawing on this post (blue and red) is quite intriguing and still shows a lot of emotion, despite not being as detailed as the one below it. I think it's something to do with the looser lines of the features. |
Anthropomorphism
I experimented a bit with anthropomorphism. It was quite a random experiment, I used my sequential work and added a tiger head. I used photos so obviously it was near impossible to get the right facial expressions. It was quite fun but not took away from the meaning of the piece. I think anthropomorphism can be good for expressing an emotion if used as a symbol and/or if a specific animal is used for a specific reason.
