Here I have developed some more illustrations that encompass the collage/decorative theme in which I have been experimenting in...
In the images below, I have tried to brighten up the pen drawings by using bright watercolour washes.
After looking at the work of illustrator Sara Fanelli - who works mostly in collage - it gave me a couple of ideas for my work to again take a different direction...
'First Flight' Illustrated by Sara Fanelli |
'Pinocchio' Illustrated by Sara Fanelli |
In the illustrations below, I have used collage to make the trees in the bottom image, but put my own stamp on this method by using my potato prints in the top image.
I have also used a 'quirky', decorative font, much in the same way that Sara Fanelli uses in her books.
I like how the collage experiments have turned out, and though I think children will enjoy the bold colouring and simple shapes, I would prefer to have more detail to my illustrations.
