The aim of this thesis is to combine my artwork with literature. The first part of the thesis is an examination of Italo Calvino’s role in 20th-century literature, Our Ancestor. The second section of the thesis explains my evolution as a creative artist. I made an animation called Drifting of A Leaf.
From 1952 to 1957, Italo Calvino published three novels: The Cloven Viscount (1952), The Baron in the Trees (1957), and The Nonexistent Knight (1959). I want to show how an illustrator thinking about this book. It is a series of 8 pieces of illustrations. In this illustration part, I decided to use only digital. From draft to final work, I used digital to work. As an illustrator, I have a chance to find another world for literature. I prefer to tell others that my artwork is based on the stories, but not limited to the stories themselves. In my animation, I combined hand-painting and digital work. In this animation, I tried to tell the audience what I thought when I read the book.
As I want to become an illustrator and an animator, I used a year to find my voice through this thesis. During this year, I think I have found what I really want to do in the future
