A MAD tea PARTY

I’m always trying to experiment and develop my style so this was a great opportunity to push pattern, colour and graphic shape a little further - the characters have been illustrated, animated and appeared in live action movies many times - meaning there is a certain way the public expects to see them represented. This allows a certain amount of diversification but really not that much. I can draw them in my style so they don’t look exactly the same as previous renditions but I still needed to stay within certain parameters. So I was looking for a way to add something different - in my research I hadn’t seen anyone incorporate hand lettering into their illustrations- a high percentage of the images are for chapter titles so I decided to approach them and a mix of graphic design and illustration, incorporating the hand drawn chapter titles and Roman numerals into the layout of the drawings -I think this is the part I enjoyed most
