The image symbolically represents the current chaos that families and their children face when they go through the family courts in private law proceedings. This was the final image, and a couple of steps towards this are below to demonstrate the commissioning process.
Step one below was a sketch from Jacky, so I could 'see' what was going on in her mind. I often ask for this before getting started if a client has a strong idea of something they want to communicate. I always say: even if it's a stick man on the page it helps me understand what you have in mind!
After the initial sketch we talked further and I then work it up into a final draft in order to then move on to the colouring stage. It's still line art at this stage with squiggled notes, but beginning to crystallise:
And here are some close-ups along with an animated GIF to emphasise the main message: keep listening to the voice of the child!
