![]() ![]() ![]() Sometimes I create the cover at the beginning and sometimes at the end- when the feel of the book has been developed. ![]() My Modus Operandi is to start with character studies, moving on to internal pencil layouts with suggested areas for text. The age range for my books is usually from baby to under 10. I provide illustration artwork scans ready for print but not the typograpy, I leave that to an expert graphic designer. My style is traditional in watercolour and gouache- I also clean up the artwork digitally using photoshop. I made my way in to children's book illustration when I had my daughter, she appears in quite a few books as a toddler, she's now a fully fledged adult! After graduating from university with a BA(hons) I began as a commercial illustrator providing art in many different mediums and subjects for packaging, advertising and magazine editorials. I have worked as an artist for almost 30 years. ![]()
