Feature on Artists and Illustrators

Our resident illustrator Katy has recently been working on some fantastic Christmas themed work, producing illustrations to accompany Clement C Moore’s book The Night Before Christmas.

The book features a three dimensional pop up calendar at that back, Katy was required to produce illustrations that would fit a template provided by a paper engineer.

I was given a blank 3D dummy model so I roughly pencilled my ideas straight onto that first…I found the floor to be the most difficult to get right. It had to look interesting without being distracting

Katy used a combination of traditional pencil drawings, watercolours and photoshop to bring the poems and versus to life.

I was lucky to have complete creative freedom throughout the project and the feedback was positive
