Gibraltar Literary Festival - Commonwealth Park Feature

Produced at Wright Tech Media for the Gibunco Gibraltar International Literary Festival 2017. I produced a series of illustrations based on the destinations of Gibraltar and festival areas. The aim was to highlight the beauty of the destination and promote reading. Each location features a character reading and enjoying the space.

I photographed the area to capture the full width of the environment. Using the result as a reference, I drew the piece in photoshop. The piece originally featured more characters with the intention of depicting an outdoor class reading. It was later reduced to show a father and kids reading together.

The artwork features Commonwealth Park, a landscaped park nestled within the old city walls which provides a peaceful green recreational area in the heart of town.

The full piece! From this view of the park, you can see the Rock, old City Walls, and water with an assortment of aquatic life.

Work in progress! Line art and colour block. In hindsight, I should've repositioned the boy so he looks more engaged in the activity.
