The images they create are very simple but show the exact features they need to. their facial expressions are very expressive so children can easily understand whats going on.
if you look at the childrens Illustrators they have very similar characteristics, bold bright colours, big faces to show emotions and animals and children as the characters, this is because they relate to the audience they are portraying too.
i love the bright colours of these illustrations. it creates a happy mood for me. however i prefer Pixars as they are more realistic and 3D.
Liza Corbett
compared to the other Illustrators i have looked at Liza Corbett is very very different.when i first look at her sketches i automatically think pencil drawings or ink drawings. i feel like there is alot of emotion behind her drawings , such as love, heartbreak or something to do with romance as red and pink the colour is used alot in her drawings. i feel like Liza is letting out her emotions in the drawings, which gives the audience a connection to the drawings and the artist that i love.
the backgrounds always seem to have this grungy look, like tea stained paper, does this have a meaning seen as its not white crisp new paper?
the faces on her drawings still show emotion , in my opinion sad looks, or sometimes angry, like revenge is going to happen (top left picture) i could sit for ages and try and work out what her illustrations mean, these drawings would definitely grab my attention as i like hidden meanings in work.
i would definitely like to look up more of her work and see where it is shown.
Chris Riddell
When i first see these pictures of Chris Riddells work i immediately think of the greetings cards in card shops of cartoons with the speech bubble captions. but when i look closer you can see that he relates alot of his work to the government and the job they are doing.
his works main aspect is the comedy factor and taking the mick of the government etc, using cartoon images of David Cameron and Gordon Brown for example. it gives his audience something to laugh at and create their own conversations on their opinions on the matter, rather than illustrations for imaginative reasons.
he uses blue as a background, quite washy and light so it doesn't take away from the main drawing in the foreground that is very bold and clean lined. the pictures draw you in and then you read the speech bubble captions and you then find the relation between the picture and the speech. all very funny.
i really like how the feet of the characters are bigger than they should be or part of the characters is emphasizes, eg David Cameron's very long head (top right picture) this just emphasizes the comedy factor.
i respect his work as it shows what everyone in the public is really thinking.
