NOLA Reportage Trip: Drawings

Artist and illustrator Melanie Reim led a reportage trip to New Orleans, where the goal was to learn to create a narrative about place, people and events through drawing. We began each day reviewing basic concepts (thumbnails, design, composition, etc.) and ended with a group crit, to learn from each other's work. It's much more interesting to record a personal response to a place, than to just draw precisely what you see. A few drawings below:
