July was all-full of this Hans Christian Andersen
themed poster design I did for a theatre company about to do a production
called Timeless Tales. After a few different roughs the clients went for the
characters from the stories reading in a row. I really enjoyed putting this
together and my sketchbook was full of different ugly ducklings and tin
soldiers.
So a bit of process for you, I drew and re drew the
characters and resized them to look good next to one another and then with my
light box drew them again. I've been mainly keeping away from my favourite ink
at the moment and working with my new set of Inktense pencils - which are
fabulous by the way.
Then with the outline to keep the shape I worked on
the colour ways - trying to keep a jolly palette and using some pattern to add
depth. The eyeless splodges do look a bit creepy but it meant I could alter
everything to the last moment.
Got to love that ugly duckling, Quack!
