Strange job this one.  The client had already chosen and commissioned and artist but must have got cold feet because they requested more samples from other artists. I was ‘lucky’ enough to be one of them. Even though I knew the Illustrations were doomed it was a good opportunity to do a little experimentation while being paid a little money.
In this case my experiment was to try to work faster by using flat colour and lines only where needed. I think it came out well and is a technique that is now finding it’s way into my day to day work.
