I used the watercolor to draw the cover, it shows the old king and his shattered dream when he was young, and the snuffbox I saw in V&A museum.
It takes me two days to draw these two pictures, so after finishing that i found that I have no time to draw the rest six pictures if I continue to use watercolor. So I decided to change to use digital space to draw things inside
Because Trudi told me to use the illustration to tell story. I decided to make this magazine without words and shows the life of Frederick the great and the difference between the world he was dream of and the real world.
In this picture, the left side shows that when he was eighteen years old he and his friend’s plan Of running away to England because he didn’t want to be a king . And it caused his closest friend’s death in the right side.
This picture illustrated when he became a king, he was waging war and turn Prussia in to a highly militarized state, but he also built Sans Souci Palace and continued playing music in there.
The last picture is about his death and his achievement of win the land of Silesian.
then I went to print them but unfortunately the print store I went give me a booklet with totally different colors so I have to print them again by myself
Although I did it in hurry, I succeefully done it
I was very delightful to draw these pictures and it is very interested to experience the edition and printing process. I think that helps me a lot to understand the editors I cooperate with and publishers I’m working with.
