On Sunday I visited the Quentin Blake exhibition. He is purely illustration but as I include a lot of my own drawings and illustrations in my work I decided to have a look and see how he created them and how he works.

He does all his illustrations using ink pens.. if he goes wrong with his drawings he pastes pieces of paper over the original and starts again. He uses a lightbox to trace out his original drawings and then he layers them up to make changes or add further illustrations onto it.

You wasn’t allowed to take photos at this exhibiton (although I didn’t realise that until I had taken some :S) so I might as well add them on here so they are not wasted! :p
