Chicken The Cat

Un-commissioned | New Talent

Why did you make this work:
I created this picture book for my final masters stage project for my MA in Children's Book Illustration at Cambridge School of Art. 'Chicken the Cat' is a picture book that follows the journey of Chicken who may seem like a shy scaredy cat but really she is very brave.

How was the illustration used:
Children's picture book

How did you make this work:
The illustrations for this picture book were made using multiple different medias including acrylic gouache, mono printing and pencils that are then scanned in and arranged digitally. I enjoy using materials that allow me to be playful with my mark making, but equally by arranging and compiling everything digitally I have the freedom to create multiple versions and experiment with compositions.
