Set Project: Second Page - Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band

I did not record each step of the sketching part. The reason is in the interpretation. When it comes to processing alongside background song, I noticed a moment of creativity thus completely forgotten taking pictures. To help with understanding those strips, I let myself introduce lyric:

It was twenty years ago today
When Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play
They've been going in and out of style
But they're guaranteed to raise a smile
So may I introduce to you
The act you've known for all these years
Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band

We're Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band
We hope you will enjoy the show
Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band
Sit back and let the evening go
Sgt. Pepper's Lonely, Sgt. Pepper's Lonely
Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band

It's wonderful to be here
It's certainly a thrill
You're such a lovely audience
We'd like to take you home with us
We'd love to take you home


I don't really want to stop the show
But I thought you might like to know
That the singer's going to sing a song
And he wants you all to sing along
So let me introduce to you
The one and only Billy Shears 
And Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band

The ''fresh'' rough version.

Where; From the top, I picturized calendar ''twenty years ago today''. Sgt.Pepper signalizes with his left hand the day and with the right, he teaches the band to play - with a scene with drums. 

''A raise of smile'' pictured as a balloon flowing from the TV screen to the cheerful audience. I wanted to emphasise an arising excitement, alongside the background sound of cheering the audience from the track.

On the second strip, in the very beginning, I tried in many ways to visualize the enjoyment. I drew a closer look into the enlarged ''sit back and let the evening go''. By working on the background, mostly I was inspired by Aldrige's shapes of the clouds from book covers. To do not forget about the colours which I directly imagined by stepping deeper into the process, I have written inscriptions around the image. Beneath a starry path, I attached Panton inspired waves. 

In the foreground, I led the hand reminds me of the one from the Yellow Submarine (the further research I will publish soon). Which one is for signalising Billy Shears; exequo Ringo Starr. Which I indicated as a singer. Moreover, in the next track, he has a lead vocal.


Here is the compartment with the overdrew sheet. This one on the left hand side I will leave for colouring. 

Like I mentioned in the with the first page, I tried to diverse the thickness between elements. I think I notice quite an improvement.

Characters on the foreground I tried to defined starting from the most important elements with the thicker lines by finishing with the thinner gestures.

Set Project: The exact reason why and sketches

 I have not straightened why I chose to illustrate the lyrics. As you may have noticed, I know quite a lot about music from the last century and always dreamed about the connection with visual art. Especially in this case, when the album is laid out as a story. Therefore, taking advantage of this opportunity I intend to make something familiar using illustration. You see, songs have a lyric - a story. And I want to share with those, by giving my version. In fact, Primitivism is related to the 60s pop culture and the insights I will publish gradually. The album that I chose is unique in terms of the tracklist.  Sgt. Pepper Lonely Hearts Club Band  has no gaps between tracks. Therefore they made an album that sounds like one continuous song. ''Highly debated it is considered as a one of the first concept album'' (The HollyHobs, 2020). Some of the songs had been established according to the newspapers headers/stories.  The reasons why I chose this relation to the theme ...

Art Portfolio Project: First update - The story

 When I took a look for the sign off sheet, it made me think about the story for my Leporello. I pointed out the initial ideas and spirit of the whole story.  It will not be act-playing roles, no dialogues. This six pieces story will take a viewer into a mysterious world of Native Americans.  I spent a lot of time thinking about how I want to present the culture and sense of spiritual world perceive by tributes eyes. I interested in the beliefs of this culture. I want to start explaining the background for the strip. Native Americans believed that all living things were watching over by guardian spirits. That could be; trees, wind, animals or people. Mostly, forces of nature.  Usually, the young boys were overcoming the ''journey'' to become a man. They believed that the guardian spirit, once fund, would bestow a special power on the boy and then, he would return to the tribe. Meaning of great spirit was a bit similar to be watched by an angel in the Christian religi...
