Landscape illustration



Above are a few images from my sketchbook.  All of these images have an interesting shape that looks intriguing when taken out of it's original environment.  For example, the image in the middle of the three has a really interesting shape that could be taken into my context of music because of it's jagged outline.
It makes sense that the more you simplify the original image, the further detatched it becomes from what it actually is, and in this case, the simplicity still holds the aspects that I want to keep for my illustrations.

Here is an example of an image being simplified.  It looks similar to a sound wave showing different pitches. 
The whole idea for this project now is to gain inspiration from things that we see everyday, or things that already exist in life to try and grasp what 'looks like sound'.  From this I will use textures I have found and existing shapes (i.e.above) to create a snippet of a song.
