I've been commissioned to create character and situation concepts for the British Lung Foundation's 'Breathe Easy' Campaign.
So my thoughts are towards fresh air and blue skies and to visualise both freedom of breathing fresh air and restriction of breathing. So I used expansive swirls and twirls and butterflies and flowers for the free easy breather and a much smaller and constricted version emitting from those suffering.

I've added two main characters to the part finished background. Just to show the client the general finished effect
I feel it important that I should show my characters both with and without breathing difficulties. This is so that those with a problem will recognise themselves and be made to be aware that there is help available.
This is also a personal issue for me as my both my Father and a Cousin suffered from emphysema.
So thanks to the British Lung Foundation and their sturdy work.
Check out the gallery, showing both finished illustrations and pencil roughs.
