Illustrations inspired by David Lyttleton

Attempting different style using techniques inspired by David Lyttleton 

David Lyttleton is an artist known for depicting famous celebrity and figures by only using simple techniques. Lyttleton is well-known for his work in making history books for children and for his recurring work in newspapers and magazines. 

Inspired by David Lyttleton's work I decided to use his techniques to explore different styles and processes when creating my characters. Lyttleton uses geometric shapes and makes his artworks as simple as possible. However, while they look simple they are easily recognisable to the celebrity or figure Lyttleton is showing. Lyttleton only uses a few lines to describe the face and mainly uses bloc colours to define the body and outline of clothing.  

My version of Lyttleton's art is simplistic and enjoyable to make as little mark-making as possible, however, my recreations for Anning and her dog aren't as effective as Lyttleton. I prefer using detail while drawing so this task was very difficult to me but opened my eyes to more possibilities with how to work.
