Jacques Demachy

Another historical illustrator that I have looked at is Jacques Demachy.

Throughout his work Jacques Demachy uses mixed media to create his illustrations.  I feel that his work portrays a very elegant, delicate and soft effect.  These are created through the media that has been used also the posture of the figure.  Personally my favourite element of his work is the delicacy of the media combined with the strength of the detail included in certain areas.  If I were to take any element of his work through to my own it would be the delicate nature of it as I feel that a beautiful effect is created through this.  I feel that his work fits into the couture market.

Bobby Hillson

As you may know by now if you have read my previous posts I have been researching into contemporary illustrators; well now I have moved onto historical illustrators.

One that I have looked at is Bobby Hillson.

Throughout her work Bobby Hillson has used pencil and ink to create her illustrations and usually only used one media in each piece.  I feel like her work portrays a very feminine and sophisticated mood.  Personally my favourite part is the sketchy lines and shading, this is because I feel that it gives the piece character and depth.  I would like to experiment with this style f line and shading in my own illustrations.  I feel that they fit into the designer/ ready to wear markets.
