Illustrators who have influenced my work

Jeff Crosby

Crosby uses water colour paints and colouring pencils to create his work. I really like this style, his use of colour is strong and the characters he create are detailed and animated which makes them interesting to look at. His use of mark making creates texture in his drawings which makes the drawings expressive and interesting. His use of colouring pencils around the top of his illustrations gives the image a framing which leaves the viewer feeling that all the information they need to know about the image is provided.
Crosby uses a wash of watercolour paint on the background to set the mood of the illustration, this is effective as he can then build on that colour with colouring pencil and create the rest of the illustration.
