PEOPLE AND CHARACTERS RESEARCH

I love the simplicity of this piece. The single line that is the outline isn't perfect, I like how the illustrator chose to do this - even though the piece isn't very  detailed I find it works well. The use of colour and thicker paint for the hair really brings the work to life.

This illustrator has an element of fragility and freshness in her work. The characters in this piece all seem to have fairly unique looks. The tones in this image give the piece a calm feel, each person is executed well expressing the attitude and emotion of the characters.

The colours in this piece are amazing, I love how the illustrator hasn't used skin tones it gives the image a dramatic and exciting feel. The main features of this character are exaggerated and enlarged for example the eyebrows are very large in comparison to the eyes, this helps to show what the character really looks like.

This is a piece by one of my favourite illustrators, Adara Sanchez. I find the arrangement of the random colours work well together, especially against the colouring of the line.The use of line drawing is really effective and captures the person well. I like the way the line is slightly indented into the textured paper.

This is another illustration by Sanchez. I love the looseness of the lines, the curvaceousness emphasizes femininity. I love how she leaves the structure lines in and doesn't mind if the colorful overlaps the line. I like how the opacity of the line varies, being bolder in shadowed areas.
