Dom Mckenzie

Whist at Thought Bubble, Aggie and I found Dom Mckenzie. I first picked out his work because the image above reminded me of Adam's work. They've both been inspired by the same film, yet their work have be approached very differently. What led me to like Dom's work is his use of colour and textures. The above picture in particular illustrates his use of texture within his work, whereas the ones I picked out below she a beautiful understanding of colour. In terms of his textures, what I was most fond of was the brushy effect he creates (this is particularly strong in the oven image and within the skies of the images below). He talked about his process and said that that his illustrations are all produced using ink or Pentel brush pens then scans in and colours. I've used a brush pen in the past and not got on with then. I did how use them to try create steady, more detailed drawings rather than loose textures. Perhaps I should  try again.
