This is my entry for the Feel Good Drinks YCN Competition. It's the first time I've properly used photoshop and not wanted to throw it out of the window in a fit of rage so I'm chalking this up as a success even if I don't get anywhere near winning!
These two pieces are for my Negotiated Project. They are ideas for illustrating each of the four main characters in Harper Lee's novel To Kill A Mockingbird, these two being Scout Finch and Tom Robinson. They are still only ideas but I'm really liking the way they have turned out and will most likely be using this format for the final work.
"The rattle of Bones and chuckles spread from ear to ear", this took me quite a while! It's suprising how long hand painting lettering can take, but i think it's worth it.
"The typist home at teatime", it was tough doing the text on this one, making it look like splodgy typewriter print by using a fineliner. Im hoping I pulled it off.
This is a page for a childrens book, the whole class was given a sentence each and had to create their illustration around it. However there were certain rules, which were that the character had to have the stripy top and red converse trainers, and the background had to be in black and white. Other than that "Sam" could be any character you wanted him/her to be.
Another editorail illustration! Our tutors do like these. This is for an article on what parents do after their children have left home to go to university, so i focussed on the parents spending their savings travelling the world
I'm Claire, I go to Lincoln University studying Illustration with lots of lovely people (It really helps if there are lots of lovely people!). I use a lot of paint, and enjoy using it in a loose way (i.e. washes, big sweeps of colour) but the details are also a big deal.
