Illustration

                          SAY HELLO                      ASSIGNMENT 1 In this assignment I was asked to create a getting card and to introduce myself.I first done a mind map of different ideas relating to some interests of my own and then thought about making a character from them to put on to a card. I decided to think about what sort of materials I would use and how I would design the card. I thought 9about all the different colours I could use that would be compatible to the design and connect the colours to the design of what it would be.  I decided to make a girl meditating my ideas came from getting the gist when I took words and pictures from my them in my exercise, All of the words I found where very much related to my own personality and interest's.

I then used these words as they are all the words that connect to spirituality and which this topic is about.  I took some of the words from the magazine that I underlined and imagined them around a tree coming from each twig, I thought of all the words and created a tree, like a tree of life and the words are all about your inner spirit.  i don't have my illustration set up Just yet on my pc as I'm still waiting to her back from dsa about my funding towards my new computer. So my work is basically just done on paper with paint and using my photo editor at present.  for my next  assignment I wil...

He was a illustrator from England London he was born on December the 1st 1879. His creativity came from both parents his mother used watercolours in her drawings. He attended St Paul's school where his uncle was the headmaster. The teachers already knew that he was good at art and he won a scholarship and continued his subjects in art. Earnest was a likable person and was nicknamed giddy kipper.  WHY DID HIS WORK SEEM OLD-FASHIONED His work seem very old fashioned as the scenery was set in what would of been the 1930's era. It seemed very olde worldy set in a quaint English countryside. The character's where dressed in the style of clothing that would of been the style of clothing suited for the 1930's. The impression I got from wind in the willows scenery was that it had a dated quality.  What was it about the contempora...
