What do you think some of the challenges might be in drawing another person's story. What might be some of the advantages? Why?

There is many challenges yet advantages when drawing another person’s story. One of the challenges would be getting all the details. For example, when I illustrated Tyler’s short story, I found myself wondering what his surroundings looked like. I had to make up the surroundings and details since I had not asked for the details. “A picture is worth a thousand words” is very important to the audience and the drawer has to get that across. The drawer has to make sure that imagery not given in the story can be seen in the drawings, or the readers will be confused. An advantage would be that the drawer can make some details that go along and make the story more interesting. An example would be in Maus, page 14, Artie’s father has numbers on his arm from the Holocaust. This adds more to the story, and it shows that Art did add details to the story and took his time. It also makes the audience picture everything. The detail develops characters too. Another advantage, the drawer is not right or wrong when imaging the details they draw. A drawer has both, challenges and advantages, when drawing someone’s story.
