Textiles Angels

This is a small illustration project that I did for last years Altrincham in bloom project for Art with A heart, in collaboration with fellow volunteers and students Hannah, Olivia and Rebecca. The theme was around shorts they had designed for the project named Cheeky bums and each had to have a British theme.

For each page of this short comic I had asked for each of the girls input on what they wanted said in their section of the comic so that I could fill in the text for each piece. These were then sketched and designed in a separate sketchbook for development then enhanced in Manga studio 5. This has helped not only my portfolio as an illustrator but also for their portfolios as well. The name of the story Textiles Angels was a play on Charlies Angels, as I thought since this was a textiles project a suitable name was needed.

 Same would go for the cover as it was inspired by the title sequence of Charlies Angels in the freeze frame section. This would also be because since there were three main characters in the story this theme of the cover fitted perfectly with the silhouettes in the cover.
