Artist research: Jonny Duddle

Jonny Duddle illustrated for Terry Pratchett's latest book; Nation, which happened to be my discovery of another modern day illustrator.

What intrigued me was his digital coloration. His finished pieces are usually coloured works, mainly for the main cover whereas his accompanying ink sketches remain in their black and white outlines. 


Duddle's drawings first consists of pencil sketches, and are then coloured over using Painter and Photoshop. His style is very broad; they can appear to be quite cartoon-like, whereas some can appear quite sinister.

An example of a more cartoonised version of his style. It gives a very happy and up-beat appearance...

... contrasting with an example of his more dark and sinister drawings.
