While creating my illustrations I will develop and improve different art styles and techniques.

To achieve this i will create multiple pieces of work that surround the areas of schools and parks this is so they can fit into the backdrops of the two Matilda scenes.

With the theme of the work being around children I took some inspiration from the musical and the use of teddies since they are a key aspect in most children's lives that holds immediate significance. I finished with two different variations that I thought were quite common and universally shared between genders and ages. For the linework i used black pens and swapped the thickness throughout my work to add more dimension the teddies.

The water colour links to the original kind of artsyile of the matilda books and art work this adds familiarity while still looking unique in its own aspects. I added some lifeworks using a ballpoint pen just to create difference between then colours and make the image pop out and become more appealing to the audience with a light almost childlike look to it.

I used oil pastels for a childlike aesthetic almost like a child has drawn it themselves. It has bright and bold colours that intentionally clash together to create a beautiful messy look which will catch attention. This was definitely a good technique for the matilda theme as it is both childlike is design and theme.

I have constructed the lamp in a very unrealistic way as to add mystery annd creativity. I found nyself inspired by the work of Tim Burton abd the result is very cartoony. This will help link the piece to the theme 'revolting children' almost reflecting their crazy 'revolting' imaginations twisting the boring reality around them in a school which traps their creativity and freedom.

I used watered down ink to blow a splash of green surrounding the main piece of the lamp to add that bright colour contrast the the black used in the lamp then a went in with a marker or a lighter more yellow green to create more markings and doodles around the lamp.

I have used quite squiggly uneven lines to create my sketches which yet again can be related to the unrealistic yet creative minds of the children. This can also reflect the original artwork of the Matilda books.

Overall the technique gives the look and aesthetic of an old newspaper which I find very appealing especially towards more of the old classroom setting of matilda.

I used a ballpoint pen to follow the direction of the corridor and lighting shading and adding detail to the walls and floor.

Although I think I could improve by adding more detail and spending more time to make to neater and more uniform.

I don't think this style of work was particularly my strong suit I found that it lead to a very messy overuse of paper and glue that just looks particularly untidy in my eyes yet I am glad that I have tried to experiment in this type of style and I may use it in the future for really crowded areas that need a lot of colour.

I like how the drawing illustrates the world semi-unrealistic and cartoony while still holding clear resemblance to the real world adding that creativity for the readers to explore and enjoy.

First I have sketched out the letters onto white paper picking quite a long cartoony font then I had cut it out and stuck it on a black background almost as if a teacher has written the word on a chalkboard.

I also worked quite a lot with colour using blue to really add a contrast into the black this has come out very effective and allows the dog to look that bit more realistic.

I have chosen to create this visual because I wanted to vary what I included and I found that childhood quite often coincides with that of a family pet. this is why i have chosen to illustrate a dog for my work. this could be used in children's homes or even in parks and outdoor settings which will fit quite nicely with the 'when I grow up'

Studio Ghibli is a Japanese animation film studio founded in June 1985 by the director Hayao Miyazaki

He works mainly in animation yet I wanted to focus on some of his early rough sketches. this is because Miyazaki uses quite rough linework and works in watercolour, I find that this relates to Quentin Blake quite a bit with his art style.

Tim burton is a huge inspiration for some of my work this is because he distorts the reality around him quite unrealistically I find that this use along with his quite rough linework really reflects that of some of Quentin Blakes work (for example his body proportions and the way he illustrates objects around him).

I have chose to continue developing and working on this idea to improve it

To ensure we are safe around it we keep it at a safe distance away in its own cup putting it away into a safe location after use and we keep skin contact with it very minimal if not at all as it can irritate the skin. if it got on my hands I have made sure to wash them to make sure no left over liquid id on me.

I have used a range of pipe cleaners straws and different variations of paper to create my trees , slide and swing. I worked with perspective allowing my work to be in different places (my swing being in the forefront of my work and the slide pond and trees being on different levels as to allow my piece to look more 3D to the eye.

I would improve this visual by adding more illustrative work into it (things I have drawn) as I find that that it where my strength is most in my work.

this will include watercolour , pen and oil pastels.

The main target being my perspective and sizing of the picnic blanket and the teddies, they look out of place and they almost look as if they don't fit in the setting.

I also used black paint to outline the teddy with just looked messy and it smudged during the process to improve I would use fineliner instead of paint to allow the most detail

I have used teddybears to link to childhood along with the teacups to add a sense of a child's tea party alongside books that link to the original illustrations of the matilda books. Finally all being put together in the scenery of a park which references the 'when I grow up' scene from the brief we were given at the beginning of this project.
