The subject of my illustration was a person holding a rat from Ratatouille. I like the simplicity of the project.  I think being able to draw less can give you the ability to show more.  I would advise a new student doing this project that it should be fun.  It was a great way to express their ideas in a simple and conveying way.  By doing this project I learned that sometimes the best way to pass on an idea is to make it more simple.
