Alyana Cazalet Illustrator

Above I have attempted to draw in the style of Alyana Cazalet. I found that her style is very interesting and cartoon-like. I think it looks really good and portrays images in a very artistic manner. However I do not think that this style suits me. 
Alyana Cazalet has previously done illustrations for Sainsbury's, Cafe Rouge, and BBC Children's Magazines. She was born and educated in Russia, currently living in London woking as a freelance artist and illustrator.
Overall I have found that I have experimented with this style and tried it but I do not feel that I can pull it off in an artistic manner, however, if I were to use a similar style and customise it to my strengths in drawing I feel that it could work really well.

Ayalah Clothing Branding



Here is a branding title that I have created using photoshop. In photoshop I used the text tool and moved objects around to line them up perfectly. I was able to move an object more flexibly by holding CTRL down and then moving it, then to release into that spot you have chosen, then you must release the mouse before letting go of CTRL. If however I wanted to release the object onto an exact line, I would press SHIFT and it would snap into that exact position. I feel that this portrays my brand really well and can use this for heading everything as this would be consistent and professional. I could also use this as my watermark over my work for copyright purposes. This is why I have created such a versatile piece of branding as I can use it for multiple jobs. 
I chose this lucid and defined font style for my brand name 'Ayalah' to keep the branding clear and concise, while clothing was left in script to further emphasise my personal brand.


Jaqueline Bissett Experiment

Above is the work of Jaqueline Bissett and a version of my own, attempting to use a similar technique created using illustrator. Overall I feel that it was successful, although details such as the face and hands I struggled with due to illustrator automatically straightening the lines. This made me unable to make sharp corners as they were softened by the brush tool. 
Jaqueline Bissett is a very talented artist and from looking through her portfolio from the link above I have taken inspiration. This is because I like the style that she uses and portrays within her work. The work she produces always looks natural and feminine and hopefully soon I will be able to portray his in my own work.
I also feel that my technique is overall improving and hopefully in the near future will be able to produce work to a high standard with the help from inspiration in the early stages of learning and practising techniques.

Katharine Asher's Work

This is my attempt at working in the style of Katharine Asher . I used the brush tool on illustrator to create my version. This is my first attempt and could be improved a lot, and feel that I can achieve this by practising and choosing a style that works for me. 
I feel that that this style could work for me but as stated above a lot of practise is needed. 

Katharine Asher's work is very good in my opinion as it is very detailed but this is created by doing extracting little details. I also feel that the brush used has allowed the image to have a more feminine look.
