Roald Dahl Story Illustrations
MATILDA
‘She started swinging her round and round her head, faster and faster and Amanda was screaming blue murder and the Trunchbull was yelling,“I’ll give you pigtails, you little rat!”’
MEDIUM: I initially created all of my illustrations within Illustrator, using a combination of vector shapes and my graphics tablet and the Paint Brush Tool to get my desired outcome. I then coloured these within Illustrator also, using both the Paint Bucket Tool and the Paint Brush Tool. The final compositions were then brought in to Photoshop, where I used various brushes to add further details such as tone, light and shadow.
THE TWITS
‘Things cling to hairs, especially food. Things like gravy go right in among the hairs and stay there. You and I can wipe our smooth faces with a annel and we quickly look more or less all right again, but the hairy man cannot do that.’
CHARLIE AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY
‘“Look here, if you and all your people will come back to my country and live in my factory, you can have all the cacao beans you want! I’ve got mountains of them in my storehouses! You can have cacao beans for every meal! You can gorge yourselves silly on them! I’ll even pay your wages in cacao beans if you wish!”’
