I remember a while back watching the short film that Vashti illustrated "Hair Love" and the way she does hair texture is very just amazing. It makes sense that throughout the film the hair was the most textured and stood out a lot. Even the fathers beard stubbles had a lot of texture I can imagine the feeling.

I love the art pieces of Lobato, his style is distinct with a more graphic, Picasso-esque with shapes greatly defining form. His pieces also follow certain color schemes, mainly analogous and monochromatic. Although he uses shapes, the different tones used in the shapes and lines create a little texture such as Melania's hair in the piece to the left.

Innosanta Nagara's illustrations I see texture right away with I what I think is hatching within the characters he draws. They way he creates texture makes the characters stand out against the warm backgrounds he uses.

Adrian's style is reminiscent of comic book style illustrations with thick outlines defining shape more than shading. The mute colors he uses in his illustrations give off a serious and somewhat dreadful feeling in his illustrations.

Surprisingly I recognize Brunhoff's work of Babar as I watched the cartoon on Qubo as a kid. I digress here the use of water color definitely gives off a more childlike feel as many do this with the water color fading into a white space. The water color actually does great to create texture of the elephants since the different grays from the water color create shading.

Harper's artworks can definitely be described as graphic, with heavy use of shapes and lines to create the forms of animals, with a sort of more simplistic look. He also uses lines and some shape to create texture within the environment and animals.

What aspect of this project are you most proud of?

Coming up within the thumbnail sketches I feel I am most proud of because right before I started brainstorming I had no clue how my end product would look. Usually I always have an idea of the end product when doing anything art but this time around everything came out of nowhere.

How did your idea evolve from the beginning of the project to the end?
I didn't have much of an idea at the beginning. When looking at the animal I knew I wanted to do something strange or bizarre with the composition since the animal is bizarre to begin with. The thumbnail sketches is when things really went off and I had a bunch of ideas flow in after taking another look at other illustrators work.

Going forward, beyond the semester, what design skill would you like to improve or explore?
I definitely want to explore on how to improve texture in my pieces. Texture to me is one of those elements that really brings a piece of work to life as it makes the onlooker more engaged with the piece. They immediately compare the piece to the outside world when texture is involved I feel which is why I want to improve my texture skills.

Seibold has a very stylized look, leaning towards more of a geometric look. In his pieces Seibold uses more saturated colors giving a more cheerful feeling in his pieces which makes sense since he creates children books.

Faith Rinngolds use of light cool colors against dark colors creates unique looking shading. The use of contrast creates such dramatic compositions and movement within the compositions.

I like the different angled used in the bear composition but of course the thing that most stands out is the use of different colored pieces of paper, this highlights different tones and tints used. Not only that it these different pieces of painted paper uses different types of texture making the compositions seem sporadic, gives me ideas for the zebra duiker composition.

The amount of monochromatic artwork is great giving me ideas of creating form through shading using a single color. Cross hatching was used phenomenally to create texture and hatching for feathers and fuzziness of the insects. She also used complementary colors to emphasize certain shapes like the snail shells.
