quick idea sketches

from the information i have found out about Earhart, above i have tried to convey some of this information in illustrations by usings a comic dialogue technique to make the illustrations have a humous effect. (above illustrating how resistance to take on her husbands last name)

here i have tried to represent how she was admired by others for being independent and courageous. 

 (illustrated people behind her with bangers, making them into her 'groupies')

bottom illustration: going back to the dialogue effect i have tried to illustrate her feelings towards marriage: 'She saw marriage as a cage, granted an"attractive" one, but still a cage nonetheless....I cannot guarantee to endure at all the confinements of even an attractive cage.' 

because i felt Earharts outlook on life and the quotes she use to describe it were so appropriate to my concept i have played around with adding text to illustrations. 

 i like the layout and composition of the piece because it gives the impression that image behind her head (the world) combined with her facial expression (looking into the further) is that the back image of the world is what she is thinking about in her head. however i don't think text is needed in this piece, i think it makes it to complicated and i feel the illustration specks for itself.
