Picture Book Illustration

This picture book illustration is an editorial and article style of illustration and there is a character in the foreground and various couples in the background. The readers can be of any age and usually there is a message which is conveyed through these picture book illustrations. The message may be relevant to young adults, adults and others. The illustrations done for such genre are cartoon style of illustrations and the images drawn clearly convey the fact that the persons in the background are adults spending some time in a disco.

Everybody is enjoying by dancing or talking and the environment is electric with very high energy and everything is very vibrant. The colors used are not very bright but the sequencing done with purple color and black shading done below the characters is giving the right effect and illustrates that the energy is high here and everyone is very dynamic.

The reader with spectacles is trying to give a message that indulging in such activities may lead to a good time spent right now but at the expense of studies and thus the future may get affected. The central character here is a teenage girl who is under peer pressure to go out and get social. On the other hand there is also pressure of studies.

Illustrating this scene took a lot of time to make a mental picture first and then bringing it in the form of an illustration. This is digital illustration where the sketch was done on Paper using pencil but the coloring was done using Photoshop.

Children Book Illustration

This style of children book illustration is a digital illustration and the characters are more like cartoons and not realistic. In these kinds of illustrations, the main focus is on giving the right expressions. In this illustration, the squirrels are laughing and so are the rabbits and the birds looking very curious. The creature sitting below the tree is indifferent to what is happening around him. The background is relatively small and the reason for a limited background is that I wanted to keep the focus around the main characters that is the Animals.

The placement of animals has been done in such a way that none of them loose out their presence because of others and yet, all are seen doing their own set of activities. There is a very restricted view of the background from the sides of the trees and a few tree are seen along with a ridge of a mountain which is not very high. The colors used are bright and vibrant in order to give more life to the characters.

The idea was to make the overall scene very engaging and full of activity and the ideal readers were 4-6 year old and these kids usually get attracted by illustrations with bright colours and expressions which are happy or full of surprise. As a picture book illustrator, it is of great importance to catch the essence of the story and the scene completely. Once the idea is clear and mental imaging is done, its easier to create children book illustrations and this also helps on choosing the right kind of colors.
