I picked up a new book this week by David Roberts, a great writer and illustrator. It’s called Suffragette and contains some beautiful illustrations. I think I’m always more impressed by anyone who uses more paint/ink than digital techniques in their work, particularly in such a huge project!
I’m embarrassed to say that I’m getting a lot of new information about the Suffragettes from this book that I didn’t know before (since the last time I read about them was probably Year Five), but now I’m an expert.
I love the way David Roberts draws characters, and the whole book puts the illustrations alongside the text in a very fluid way. Great stuff.
