Lucinda Rogers

The main element of Rogers work that interests me is the overlapping and layering, compacting many buildings onto her canvases without making it look overcrowded.

In this illustration she uses small amounts of colour to highlight certain areas of the drawing. Another thing that works well is outlining, including all of the detail would overcrowd the illustration, it also works well in the background in which the lines become even less defined allowing more depth. Another element in the illustration is the clouds on the horizon.

I have chosen this second illustration because of the people, they are roughly outlined sparing detail again which works well. The background colour makes a change from a white background it also brings out the white lights. The other colour in the illustration is a grey which covers the head of the man but also a part of the man behind. The variation in thickness of the lines is an interesting feature I would like to use in my illustration work.
