Cendric Hill's Journey

This storybook was drawn for introducing students in NCCU to the history and the space of Chengchi College. The story was written by Chengchi College, and I was in charge of art & illustration.


Characters & Art

In the beginning, I sketched images with pencils as detailed as possible, and painted different ranges of color: pink, green, blue, brown, and red, in my sketchbook. I added a lot of water enabling colors to blend with each other in the pigments. I transferred colors from my sketchbook with Clone Stamp Tool in Photoshop. The result turned out great. The blending color made the whole storybook look fantastic.

Scoll

I tried to print the storybook in a Chinese scroll. It was an important thing to connect each scene smoothly. I picked the red scarf as an element of connection between each scene.

The Story

It was a fantastic story. Cendric Hill and his older sister were reading books under the tree. A great wind blew, and the wind took Cendric’s sister’s red-scarf away. Cendric tried to chase the red-scarf and bring it back, but unfortunately he fell into a big hole in the tree. He kept on chasing and experienced a fantastic journey. Cendric found a flying-blanket taking him into the sky, and he met 7 dwarves in the forest, and even saved Snow White. Finally, Cendric came back to real world with the red scarf through the time tunnel.
