A booklet I wrote and illustrated on 'how to illustrate', based on my own experiences. Because it was based on my own experiences, the main inspiration came from old tv-shows, comic books and video game I liked. Combined with some basic items, I also customized a wooden tea box to be the packaging.

The book itself was a A5 size, with a illustration on one side and the text next to it.

The Box
The box had a size of 29 cm x 21 cm x 8 cm. Painted it over with white, the illustrated the rest with ink and acrylics. The inside of the box had a foam mold for the items and was draped in a soft fabric. It included a mechanical pencil with refills, an eraser, an ink brush and a sketchbook.
