So much illustration! Elisa Mazzone




The final Illustrator is Elisa Mazzone from Adelaide. I love her pastiche of techniques, the richness and layers they create...


These images are from T squat, Disband.

More Illustration...Pippa McManus




Perth based illustrator Pippa McManus's work uses a lot more lifelike detail and shadowing. Epic, hey.
These images are from her blog Pippa's Workable Fixative.

Researching Illustrators!- Emma Leonard






Melbournian artist Emma Leonard's work jumped out at me when I saw her illustration of the backstage image from an Anna and boy show, which was in Russh a few years ago. A striking image of a red nailed, lipped and bangled woman wielding a camera.
Looking at her other work continued to impress me, the strong, clear lines contrasted with the soft watercolour is really effective!

These images are from her Etsy store.

Oh Assessment 1...the things you've taught me

1. Layer -> stroke = really handy to clarify interposed images.
2. Grids are really useful for colour swatches on templates.
3. Sometimes printing in RGB works.
4. Test prints are really important, in case there's tiny errors you hadn't seen on the screen.
5. Making images brighter really improves overall aesthetic...
