More artist research

Eleanor Davis

Eleanor Davis is the illustrator behind this beautiful wordless comic "The Beast Mother".
Like the previous artists she only uses a monochrome colour palette, but uses much more solid blacks rather than the line work. I can use areas of pitch black to extenuate the darkest of areas, whilst still focusing on the  line work.
Davis perfectly communicates this lovely story without words, however if I do use the graphic novel outcome i will be using words in my story as i think it requires it slightly more. It will also allow me communicate humour more easily.


Mark Wigan

These great illustrations of crowds by Wigan have made me want to create illustrations that completely take up every inch of the page.
Although I love the Marco Polo image by Gorey with it's vast amount of white space, I want there to be the minimum white space possible on the page.
