Lucy Atkinson

Lucy Atkinson is an professional freelance animal illustrator, who graduated from University College Falmouth. She claims inspiration from baking, everyday life and developing characters.

Check out her online gallery, I really love how she uses text in some of her pieces, coupled with strong, bright colours.

I will take some inspiration from her type of work, as her work is very colourful.

I tried creating a piece, that mimicked her style. I used watercolour paint, to create this image. I first begun by using a pencil to sketch the illustration out, and then I added paint to add colour, that is similar to her colour scheme. I then went around the outline with a fineliner, to give my work the bold outline, similar in the way the original illustration of a rabbit by Lucy Atkinson has one. Lastly, I added a light green background, and scattered black paint splashes over the page, for the finishing touch.
