Illustrator/Authorstrator

After reviewing my work so far in the Illustrator/Authorstrator unit I will be continuing with this along side my new project. At the start of the unit I wanted to create a book aimed at children which would illustrate and explain a number of long standing British customs and traditions. As i have only completed a few spreads of this book I will be carrying on with it till I have finished the whole book I wanted at the beginning.

So far I have developed my collage work further and added ink drawn elements. Not only have I found this way of working enjoyable, its a lot quicker to produce the details of a character or background in ink rather than labouring over it in collage. I will be continuing in this style and work on my existing figures and sets to make sure they flow together and that I have enough of them in the end to create the book I want.
