Rise of the Guardians

A recent film I watched and fell in love with is Dreamworks Rise of the guardians. I thought this will was just magical and adored north, so this lead onto me creating A5 paper cuts of each main character. My favourite cut is Tooth fairy cutting out all the scales added such a wonderful effect.

I do sell these as a set at conventions and on my Etsy acount. 

Rebirth of the Soul

This is a small book I worked on as a small personal project testing out my use of black line. Here is just a selection of the pages.

The Little Mermaid children's book

This is my first dummy book for my illustrated version of The Little Mermaid. I am quite disappointed with the printing quality and I think it damages the overall image, but I am still proud as this is my first made dummy book. I spent many hours making a selection of pages and am happy with how they turned out. 

These are the photos of the dummy book on some selected pages, I made a few of the double pages in colour. Some of them turned out well and others I wish I could have changed.

The little mermaid

So I have been currently working on a project about children's books, we were gave 6 weeks to create a dummy book. I choose the story 'The Little Mermaid' by Hans Anderson. I found I really enjoyed this; the colours of the ocean amaze me everything underwater is so colourful and elegant. So here is a sneak peak of my coloured cover I made for the dummy book. I will upload the others and photos of the dummy book after completion's.

Foxy Christmas cards

I made the foxes using card and markers, I made the image simple as it was made to be aimed at children. I enjoy drawing foxes, they have a sneaky yet elegant feel to them.

Paper experiments

 Here are a fer experiment I did for either projects or just me playing around.

Personal:

This is an paper cut I made that was originally a greetings card design. Though in the end I found I wanted to try something more colourful and although the soliloquies works well I proffer an image with colour because it catches the eye and is more aimed at my audience, children's cards.




























Work related:
This is a pull tab experiment I made for my beauty and the beast project. I thought it worked well and was aimed at children but I did find it was a bit creepy for children.

Here I tried to use tracing paper to create a more dark atmosphere but I used to may layer of it making it had to make the background image out. Next time I do this I will make sure not to use more than one layer.

Colour experiments

As part of my children's books project we are experimenting with colour. 

This experiment is using warm and cold colours, we had to recreate the same image to see if it had any affect on the image itself. I found creating the cold version much more difficult as I tend to use more of a warmer colour pallet in my work but I think they both worked out.
