Sketchbook: the origin of the idea

The idea of the survival guide came to me while I was working on my notebook, telling what is happening to me. It is something I always do (it was not especially a concrete project).

You can find these little storys on my other blog: http://lapetitechosequidessine.blogspot.com

I want to use the same kind of spontaneous drawings, but with more structured pages (especially the ones where I mix direct pencil color and outline drawings. It is a style within I really recognize myself.
Also, these pages already shows a content for my future survival guide.

Here are some pages

Introduction

Hi, I'm Camille and I am working on a new illustration project:

A survival guide for erasmus students

It should be a little collection of tips, tricks, anecdotes, recepies... Everything that could help erasmus and international students to find their benchmarks, to get through all the administrative tasks, to save money and to make friends (all of this in a new language!)

I want to achieve a funny and friendly little object that can be taken everywhere and stay in a pocket.

In terms of image, it will be at first a layout work. I want dynamic pages that maybe look confused or messy (but that actually have a supported construction). And I want the illustrations to be very alive and spontaneous.

I think this kind of guide does not exist yet for erasmus student or are difficult to find; however it can be really useful. Being an Erasmus student is a very confusing experience because everything is new and different. I feel like I really missed this kind of thing, it would have been very useful and reassuring.
I also really feel that I need to talk about my current experience, wich is very strong and about wich I have a lot to say. I am producing things about it anyway, so I might as well use it in my work.
