. my attempt to do a picture in the style of Quentin Blake revealed new challenges: 1. I learnt that I had to simplify the image, from the first one I painted in pen and ink. Then I blew the image up and used paper over a light box (not mine). This brought up new problems: the image needs to be more interesting because of what the characters are doing, they are 'just' sitting and this is not good enough for young readers. I've worked in my sketchbook on new poses.
. started on the next exercise (getting the gist), and since I only buy the new scientist, picked an editorial from this. Now I have to do an illustration on global warming... major head scratch!
