Illustrators that I found Interesting

Quentin Blake


 Quentin Blake is one of the most famous Illustrators out there as he was the Illustrator for the Roald Dahl books. i grew up reading these books so these pictures bring back happy childhood memories.


 in the pictures he creates great expressions on the faces which shows the emotion thats going through the characters. using colour as well he emphaisies this.




making the characters more cartoony to real life detailed drawings makes it easier for children to relate to as this is how children draw with scribbles for example.







i really like Quentin Blakes work. the use of bright colours and the memories of Roald Dahls brilliant stories.











Pixar

Pixar Illustration is known for its work with Disney and the children's best selling films, cart ton films to be exact.
i love Pixar's illustrations again for the pure fact it brings back memories of the best films I've ever watched. this will be with most children and people may age as these are still their favourite films. It gives happy vibes which is the seen in young children.

Whats most noticeable is the use of colour  They are bright bold block colours that children can understand and will be attracted to. bright orange for finding nemo and bright green and blue for monsters inc.

they all have very big faces as well  especially their eyes as children i think are connected by the eyes. (you always want the teddy with the big sad eyes in the toy shop) (puss in boots on shrek)

Alex Pardee


Alex Pardee is completley different from Quentin Blake and Pixar. and has focused his illustrastions on aliens and comic book style illustrations. he is known for his t shirt desgin collections.

In my opinion i respect his work as his drawing skills are amazing, and the compostions he creates are very complex and to make them look 3d like he does is very well done.
however i do not like aliens at all so I am immediatley put off by them. they are quite violent and remind me of nightmares or cartoon horror stories.

the colours he used are very alien like, using clashing colours such as bright purple and then bright lime green.  it looks like he used watercolours as they are very washed out colours that seem to have been smudged or left to drip. maybe this relates to the horror and slime based world of aliens.
