Since my last post about my favorite cutout and visualization resources, I have come across many new places to find entourage cutouts. Yes, density and lighting of the people are important, but more important are the activities of the entourage and having a contextual understanding that properly represents the ethnicities and cultures of the project. Yet, it is the entourage of an illustration that can best articulate narrative and connect viewers to a place. When it is finally time to insert people, a large portion of time goes to thinking about how dense the entourage should be and how to get the lighting to look just right so that the people don’t feel collaged in. Whether it is because time is limited or cutout libraries are too small, it often seems like adding entourage into an illustration is treated as an afterthought at the end of most workflows.
