Quentin Blake


I listened to this a couple of days ago and it is a radio program where Quentin Blake is talking about music he enjoys and his life. He talks about how he began illustarting and he trained as a teacher at Downing College, Cambridge.







This is some of his work below, I want to create one of the costumes that look like Quentin Blakes drawings. A bit like this that I researched into at the beginning of the year.

2000: the endless possibilities of drawing appeared beside an article in the Times Educational Supplement promoting the Campaign.

2000: Another drawing to accompany an article promoting the Campaign, this time on the cover of a supermarket magazine.
2005: this group of historical artists appeared on the cover of a sketchbook sold in aid of The Big Draw.

Another costume/ puppet that use an illustration to create it is Royal Opera House ballet version of Alice in Wonderland. The cat is created from John Tenniel's original illustrations from the book.

More I researched into about Alice's Adventures in Wonderland - The Royal Ballet

Illustration:

His style is very like mine, slightly childish, very messy and a bit scratchy.
