Negotiated Project - Illustration Now 3

Illustration now is a book series which demonstrates the work from a number of modern illustrators and their techniques and way of working. I looked at the third book, illustration now 3 and I found some really interesting artists such as Steve Brodner. He works with watercolour on paper and his illustrations have amazing texture and the style of drawing is rather interesting. I like the traditional look yet it also looks like it has been digitally built up. The line work of Christina Drejenstam is really nice and has fluidity. I like the small splashes of colour in her illustrations, it breaks up the image really well and adds an extra pop. Her materials include; pen, pencil, watercolour, spray paint and Photoshop. She describes her work as being "simplified and rich in detail at the same time" and that's exactly what it is. Natsko Seki is a mixed media illustrator who has a very precise architectural drawing style which is something that I need to look into. In some illustrations I have seen of his the drawings of buildings and landmarks are drawn in blue and I think the subtlety of the line ties the whole image in together.
