Sara Singh

As I am looking into historical and resent illustrators for my new brief I decided I would look at Sara Singh's work. I enjoy her work as it is all done freestyle and there is no neat lines and it all looks like an artist mess which is the style I prefer to work in.
 The media used by Sara Singh is ink and fine liner so it was a fun media to work with. I created some samples to see what brush size would be better to work with.


I found that using a smaller brush would create the better effect in the style of Sara Singh. I  think my recreation could have been created to a more professional standard, but I am pleased with the outcome. If I was to use this media in the same way I would create more samples so that I could produce my work to a higher standard.

Paul Iribe

I looked into a illustrator called Paul Iribe, I found his work interesting as a lot of it was to do with the world war. I found a piece of his work which stood out most to me and it was an image of Hitler. I then looked into the media that Paul used so that I could try and re-create this piece, I found that he made stencils and rubbed iron and copper shavings over the top of the stencil.


I then tried to create my own stencil using this image of Hitler that Paul used.


As I have never made a stencil before I wasn't sure what way to go about it so I created some samples to see which one would work best for the recreation.  I then got a scalpel knife and cutting board and got my drawing and cut the outlines out.

This is the stencil that I created using Paul Iribs method. I think that I gave it a good attempt but there is a lot of improvements that I could make so if I make a stencil again I will need to create a lot more samples to get the best outcome.
