This is the style of illustration I have chosen to do for my book. This is my monster Jack drawn with different expressions. Next I need to cut them out and scan them in and produce the background for the book. The artist I am using as my inspiration is Lauren Child, the author and illustrator of the Charlie and Lola books. The style is a cut out collage made from different mediums including watercolour, pencil, magazine cuttings and photography.
"I draw the figures in pencil. I just can't use pen and ink. Pencil is much less inhibiting and I can rub it out if it goes wrong. I scan the pencil drawing into the compter, clean up the line, and print it black on cartridge paper so I can continue to work on it with paints, collage or whatever. Then I cut out the figures and scan them into the computer again." Lauren Child
