Invisible Cities - Thumbnails 1-7

I've spent the last couple of days working on some thumbnails for my Invisible Cities project. I have started with Armilla and now moved onto Baucis, making a few different designs on what the two cities could look like. These are the first 7 thumbnails that I've drawn out.



I've never been a very good 'ideas person', but it's always something I've been desperate to improve at, so I hope these aren't too bad. I would absolutely love any advice on how you come up with ideas and get it down on paper. I always seem to have trouble with it which isn't very useful when you want a career in the creative industry!

I don't really have a favourite thumbnail so far, but it's early on in the process so I'm sure I'll find one that I'll be happy with later. For now, I'm going to keep coming up with basic ideas for each city, and once I've covered all of them I can continue on with developments of my all my favourites. It's a bit daunting thinking I have to make 100 thumbnails when I've found it quite challenging just to come up with 7, but I'm hoping as I get used to this process it'll become more natural to me.

Any advice or constructive criticism is appreciated!

  1. like it..considering you say you find coming up with ideas hard on paper i think you have a nice range of different city thumbnails in terms of positions and interesting in terms of shape i think it looks quite organised to, maybe keep up with how you have done this but different mediums to get maybe a different atmosphere..to communicate the feeling you want to get this could also help later maybe when you do 3 gifs? :]
