This text examines a way to learn how to draw. While there are several ways of learning a skill, may it be drawing or otherwise, this study explores only a single path to mastery. The study mainly follows the experiences of the writer and how the writer goes about learning without following any specific “how to” guides and instead finding success in carving one’s own path. The results suggest that, while different people have different ways of learning and some ways do not work for some people, the way examined in this text works for the writer. While in the end the study itself does not, in fact, have any new information, it does however, give vindication to the idea that this one of the correct paths. As the research suggests that the way is indeed the correct way for the writer, meaning this is the path that will eventually lead to ultimate mastery.
My thesis is a multicultural illustration concept for a children’s picture book based on Zacharias Topelius’ fairy tale Adalmina’s pearl. The concept part consists of three ready-made illustrations, and in the written part of the thesis I address the manifestation of multiculturalism in Finnish children’s picture and fairy tale books. In the process part, I describe the illustration process from the ideation stage to the finished illustrations, with a particular focus on character design. The aim of the thesis is to produce a concept of fairy tale illustration with diverse characters and to study how multiculturalism has been presented in Finnish children’s picture and fairy tale books from the beginning of the 20th century to the present day.
