Over the next few days, I will post a series of drawings based on Ray Bradbury's story, Tomorrow's Child. Hopefully the images tell the story, but I'll give a short recap here. I've planned out six drawings so far. The goal of this project was to get back to simple pencil drawing, and focus on line weight and perspective in composition.
The images will tell the story, but I think it might be helpful to describe the story shortly: A couple has a child, but complications arise and a blue pyramid is born instead of a human child. The couple grapples and struggles, especially the wife, as they wait for the doctors to determine how to bring the baby into the human world. The situation continues to worsen, but the doctors find a solution: they cannot bring the baby boy into the human world, but they CAN recreate the conditions to bring the parents into the baby's world of abstract shapes. They will see each other as human, but to the rest of the world, they will appear as alien beings who cannot be understood. Because of their love for the child, the parents join their son. Here is the first illustration, showing the couple's excitement about the baby.
