As I mentioned previously in my post about book research, I love Quentin Blake’s style. I grew up on Roald Dahl’s books, and Quentin Blake’s illustrations always stood out to me and attracted my attention. The simplicity of the drawings along with the splashes of colour that didn’t always sit within the lines for some reason always drew my eye. I also like the way he uses watercolours to create bright, often smudged, drawings, with little attention to keeping the idea itself neat and tidy. Below are several examples of his drawings that are inspiring me in what exactly my illustrations and story should look like. I specifically looked at animals because those drawings were always what stood out most to me as a child.
