Recent Faeries and demons

Here are some little drawings I've done over the past couple of weeks...

Visiting illustrator

Today in uni we had a local Illustrator called Jessica Johnson come in and show us her work and talk a bit about herself and her career, It was a really interesting day, her work was so lovely and it was fascinating to learn a little more about the industry. 

After Jessica showed us her work and finished the talk, she came and sat down with us and spoke to us about our own work, it was a really pleasant experience which gave me a bit of a boost in my motivation. 

Here a selection of Jessica's work which I really enjoyed 

I also found out about some other artists from the visiting illustrator that really interested me. 

Sin Eater 

I love both these styles from the artists that I found today! 

Editorial progress

 This first image is my latest and most probably final design for the first Editorial Illustration Brief, i have taken some inspiration from the illustrator  Phil wrigglesworth and used a limited colour palette and a simplistic character design. The image is meant to convey a graduate throwing aside her graduation garments and triumphantly holding up a polished CV. I feel like i haven't produced as much art for this first project as i could have, but editorial illustration has been challenging to my style of working.  

This second Image is for a mini project where we were asked to produce an illustration of Grayson Perry to accompany a theoretical Radio times article about His talks about art in his Reith lectures.

I enjoyed creating this image because i feel i haven't used watercolour well recently, as far as the image goes, i'm pleased with it, but perhaps it would look better with something going on in the background?

The next task for the uni project is to illustrate two book jackets.
