I'm taking part in the #matschildrensbook course. We were given three choices of texts to illustrate and I chose the text about Eleanor who really really wants a pet. This is process of choosing what her face looks like. #makeartthatsells #matskidbook #characterdesign #faces

Spent all week reworking Gigi and then going back to the drawing board, creating Remi and the reworking her, too. But still managed to get six poses done for this week’s assignment.

A birds eye view

Working with depth

I’ve been taking part in some free assignments set by Lilla Rogers on the http://makeartthatsells.com/blog/ in readiness for the Illustrating Children’s Books course. This illustration was for assignment no.4 where we tackled depth and perspective.

I LOVED this task. I didn’t think I would as it’s something I wouldn’t normally do, but by being asked to work on something that was alien to myself, it really got those creative cogs whirring. I think this is one of the best illustrations I’ve done to date because it feels like a complete image. I don’t often do a full spread, and my images up until now have been focused on character (and not placed in to a setting). I’d like to work on more settings over the next month or two, placing characters into an environment really brings the whole thing to life.

For this assignment I thought I’d use it as an experimentation exercise. A lot of my illustrations so far have been quite flat so for this I thought I’d play around with texture and I also wanted to limit my colour palette so that the focus would just be on the birds. I also wanted to focus on a different medium so chose gouache (I’m usually a watercolour gal!), adding details with my coloured pencils. I had a panicky moment halfway through and wasn’t sure if I was doing the right thing, but I persevered and I’m so glad I did.

I wanted to draw birds for this task. Pigeons usually get a bad rep, for being dirty little beggars that pester people in towns and cities. BUT when I looked closer at the colours on there bodies, the patterns on their wings, they really did look pretty. (Not quite the social villains I had them down for???)
