Pamela Moresby
Some years ago I did an illustration of Henry the Mouse and never quite got to illustration Matilda the cat. I was doing an art course at that stage that did not want any representational art in their curriculum that year.
However, I went to a pet shop to take photos of a small white mouse. I got my mouse character Henry from those photos and developed Henry the Mouse.
In a story every thing has to fit together and that is the hard part. The key is research and hard work by hand for hand done illustrations. Takes a while to do.
Great story and beautiful pictures.
Thanks so much Maggie, I did not write the story but loved it very much. I just did some of the illustrations
Beautiful illustration. The children were certainly very happy.
Thanks I did not get the opportunity to finish the illustration as my art course got more demanding and would not allow me to do representational art.
These things happened at least I passed and got my degree.
I see Pamela that you are also a very good illustrator
Thanks so much Lado, pleased you like it.
You are a talented illustrator. I hope you still do this type of work. We always need some good finger and hand drawn artist unlike the computer originated drawings. Not that I totally dislike “pixels” but they are not the same as hand drawn, or watercolour or oil paintings.
Thanks HistoryGal, hand done gives you an appreciation of the true art form. Computer illustration has its own merits and I like both. However, I think everyone needs to learn to do things creatively by hand.
