Yinka Shonibare

I like the use of colour and pattern used with the fabrics an the pose of the mannequin ice skating has a real sense of movement 

Mathew Calderwood

The form on its own I s a nice shape the addition of the patchy rust caused by the paper he uses on his sculptures makes it a lot more interesting

Image from Nobrow 6

I though the colour scheme and use of space was very beautiful 

Ralph Steadman

This was the cover for illustration magazine I really liked the other work shown within the magazine but I particularly like the illustration on the cover. I like his use of media the back ground looks like I could have been a watercolour test sheet that he's the drawn on top of and combined with found imagery and text and image . 

Christopher Corr

A page I found interesting about Christopher Corr 's sketchbooks I liked all images so undecided to take a picture of the whole page. In the article he talks about his use of sketchbooks to document interesting things he hears and  sees around him they are all quick drawings / paintings but that's part of there charm .

Mark Summers

I love the technical ability required to make this piece althought I do like more contempory approaches to illustration I still find the skill full more traditional drawings beautiful to look at being able to created a piece so tonal using a traditional etching style .

Tom Allen

I found this image in a book called  "illustration a visual history"  this was in the neo Impressionism section and I really like the colours an how the red mergers between the mans face and shirt .

Laura Carlin

I like this illustration on a vessel because of the idea of it being a throwback to traditional pottery but with a much more contemporary drawing style this also give me a focus for how j could combine my interests in illustration and ceramics to produce interesting work .

Matthew Richardson

I llike the use of collage and found imagery in this image by Matthew Richardson .

Ronald Searle

I like this piece because of its conposition and it's variance of line, a nie use of thick and thin line 

Ezra Jack Keats

I really like the use of simple shape and colour in this image by Ezra Keats the colour scheme imply a the boys room to be cosy while the outside is cold and snowey 

David Hughes

I think this illustration is great. I like contrast between the more worked areas of drawing against the more simple single line elements an the colour muted colour scheme .

Sara Faneli print for the Tate

I chose this piece because I liked the colour scheme, use of text and image and the graph paper she has created the image on .
