Illustrations
The illustrations highlighted the main characters of the story. The characters are composed in such a way that they show either the main event/purpose of the myth or the chronology of events in the myth.
The first step was to ideate and sketch by hand in a grid book to have an organic yet structured feel since geometry is important in many handicrafts. Especially the myths about weaving had to be geometrical as the references were also very flat and geometrical.
The next step was tracing the rough sketches using Procreate. The colour palette is rich and full of contrast. White on dark backgrounds has been used in all the illustrations to highlight the characters and symbols.
