Julia pott

This image was designed by Julia pott who is specialised in autobigraphical art. as i was observing her prior work this particular image appealed to me as i felt that it had a strong reference to my chosen theme of little red riding hood. the image features a wolf as a main character in the illustration which aided me in my character design ideas. one of the aspect i love about Julia's work is how she always incorporates an exaggeration of animal limbs for instance, elongated necks and legs evidently shown in the picture above with the wolf. her passion for animals is conveyed through giving her animal drawings human characteristics. This  technique is something i could  incorporate  into my own designs. Personally after over viewing this particular piece, i have realized that this particular artwork symbolizes the wolf's empowerment over the village, shown in how the artist has made the wolf bigger than its surroundings, creating assumption that the wolf holds greater control as opposed to the other animals in the background. interestingly, the use of colours in the piece and in her other prior work have a contrasting aspect to them. This particular features allows the figures within the piece to be embossed from the surroundings. Also the gloomy contrasting colours creates an almost fantasy appeal to the work interlinking with my main brief and theme.
