Seana Kozar – Illustrating Children’s Books Diploma

Maggie has emailed us a wonderful illustration to add to the blog today, by student Seana Kozar.

Seana Said…

For the black-and-white texture piece I created a helter-skelter from an Arial bottle. We didn’t have helter-skelters in Canada, so I decided it could be a staging platform for multiple mini-spaceships. I used cross hatching of different types on the structure and stippling on the characters. The comic zap lines I left in to highlight the tiny main character, Sebastian Starboy, who is too small to go on the ride.

An excerpt from Maggy’s response is as follows…

The study of this helter-skelter is imaginative and creative. You have chosen a strong graphic approach, which makes it different and interesting. The character of the people is fun and fits in with the overall style of the piece well…..Overall a very good response to the exercise, well done. I’d like to show this image on the student gallery and blog to inspire other students.

Congratulations Seana on a  fantastic illustration!
