Visual for The Road

"The cold and silence. The ashes of the late world carried on the bleak and temporal winds to and fro in the void. Carried forth and scattered and carried forth again, Everything uncoupled from its shoring. Unsupported in the ashen air. Sustained by a breath, trembling and brief. If only my heart were stone" (McCarthy, 11)

 Audience of the visual: Readers of the book- young adults

Purpose of the visual: To show setting and solemn mood

This visual is an appropriate choice for the novel because it shows, of course, the road but the road doesn't seem to lead anywhere. The reason for that is because they don't exactly know where they're going or what they're going to encounter. I drew this visual without colour because as the tone in the story suggest, everything is dark, solemn and covered in ash, only his dreams are in colour.

PS. I'm not an artist; I really do prefer working with numbers, not pencil crayons
