Shaun Tan - Sketchbooks


Teresa very kindly let me have a look at her special edition of Shaun Tan's 'The Arrival' which contained an extra book of his sketches and process of making the book.


Notes

  • Collage composition - working out the layout of a scene within a frame, using found imagery to determine perspective.
  • Roughing
  • Repetitive drawing - working out the characterisation and planning through drawing the same thing over and over.
  • Reference imagery - setting up a scene to take photographs of and work from later. I especially liked how the characters within the story are also Shaun's friends and family members. He is also often found within his own stories.
