Children’s Book Illustration

Illustrations for Peter Bently's picture book, 'Where the Sea Meets the Sky.' The illustrations show characterisation, continuity and progression, a range of emotions and pace which is appropriate to the text.

I created these by using watercolour, a calming medium that creates an aesthetic around children by using colours that are water-based and non aggressive in nature. By keeping the features simple, it lends the character familiarity. I also kept the scene objects minimal and not too overcrowded so it doesn't distract you from the plot or what is going on. The mixed media keeps the scenes more colourful and interesting.
