About Young Yogi and the Mind Monsters Grāmatas ilustrācija

Jaunais jogs un prāta briesmoņi ir ilustrāciju komplekts, kas izveidots bērnu bilžu grāmatai par klasiskajām Patandžali Jogas Sūtrām. Ilustrācijas atklāj senās jogas filozofiju caur bērna acīm, izmantojot spilgtas krāsas un vienkāršas kompozīcijas, kas iedvesmotas no Indijas tautas mākslas. Sapņainas ainas parāda, kā prāts veido realitāti un kā uztvere var mainīties. Katrs zīmējums tapa ar zīmuli uz papīra un pēc tam tika iekrāsots, izmantojot digitālo programmatūru. Iespiestā grāmata ir 205 x 205 milimetru izmērā un satur 101 lappusi.

Production Technology
Kaori read the script and came up with sketches of all the characters with the writer's direction. When the designs were approved, the artist sketched the storyboard for each chapter. Then she created illustrations in pencils and papers and colored them in Photoshop and Illustrator.
Design Challenge
Since it was a collaboration with a writer, the artist had to imagine what the writer is imagining. But she was very open to what the artist brought to the table and worked beautifully together.
Research
Kaori read Patanjali's Yoga Sutras and study Yoga philosophy and Indian culture and art. She also tested her illustrations using a different medium to achieve the right feel for the story.
Inspiration
A whimsical story, "Young Yogi and the Mind Monsters," was written by Sonja Radvila to understand the rich, ancient, and mind-bending philosophy of Patanjali's Yoga Sutras. The story is filled with colorful visual and profound questions about how the mind works. As an illustrator interested in Yoga Sutras' philosophy and meditation, it was easy for Kaori to imagine each scene with a clear image.
Project Duration
The writer approached the artist in 2015, and they have started working on character designs. With many backs and forth and story changes, Kaori wrapped up the illustrations in 2018. With crowdfunding, the writer found a publisher to publish the books.
Operation Flow
The writer pitched to a crowdfunding website called Publishizer, and Atmosphere Press published it. They are sold worldwide on Amazon and Barnes and Noble etc.
