Roger Duvoisin

During the Illustrator/Authorstrator project I discovered the work of Roger Duvoisin, writer and illustrator of multiple children's books. His work involves a more loose, flowing style of line drawings mixed with strong blocks of colour. The quickly drawn black lines pick out the details for the subject without going over board and making them seem to busy and overworked. I hope to develop this style into something I could use in my own work in order to improve my collaged figures. My own figures, when all the details are made in paper collage, become stilted and stiff in comparison to Duvoisin's  which have more movement and animation to them thanks to the style of line used.
