Alexandra Bull was born to an aerobics teacher and a countryside ranger, it was probably no surprise that she spent her early years with her brother running and jumping in the countryside. And to this day she is thankful for this as these great memories have helped her tell the tales and stories of her childhood and live her dream of being a storyteller for children. Alexandra Bull had a great love for art and she began designs work for mainly children and soon got a degree in illustration at Falmouth college of arts.
Alexandra Bull is a huge inspiration to my work, I think her works incredible. Firstly, the simplicity of her work for e.g the picture above, the drawings are quite simple but the outcome is perfect. She uses a wide range of colours appealing to a younger audience greatly and the strong lovingness of animals is shown throughout the picture. Kids love animals and they're smiling and playing with the children which a child would love to read about.
The thing I like best about Alexandra Bull's work, is her editting and illustration skills, many of the colours shown on the picture are not just fills of colour on illustration but are textures that she has scanned in and put into her image, I think this is incredibly creative and has an amazing effect on the picture. The tree in the above picture is shown to have been edited with a texture and it is interesting and not boring and the grass and the stares have also got textures added to them.
