'Harry Potter' with the
Clifton Partnership and schools
in Rotherham | 2006/07/08

I have worked with the Clifton Partnership in Rotherham for the last three years, as the illustrator on their 'Harry Potter' project, working with children in their last term of Year 6. The sessions involved showing the children my recent published work and talking about life as an illustrator. We then moved on to how they can draw their versions of the Harry Potter characters, with their own unique characteristics. Techniques demonstrated included creating and using 'thumb nail' idea sheets, drawing with blue pencil, proportions of a 'human' face, character characteristics and 'inking' the drawing with black lines.
