• Project: Animal Stories for Bedtime
  • Commissioned by: Usborne Publishing
  • Purpose: Illustrations for a 96 page Children's Book
  • Brief: To illustrate ten bedtime stories including, 'The Elephant’s Nose', 'The Musicians of Bremen' and 'The Town Mouse and the Country Mouse'. Each story had a full page plate artwork and a number of smaller vignettes. The book was really fun to work on as I enjoy illustrating animals and human characters together. My personal brief for the project was to make the characters fun, friendly and humorous but to try and find a slightly more realistic element to some areas of the imagery. I tried to use decorative but tonally strong compositions to achieve this.
