British artist Richard Wilkinson illustrates press articles and designs the covers of books and magazines. His works, executed in soft colors, are intended primarily to convey to the readers the main idea of the text. So, looking at the color illustrations of the talented author, you can guess what the text was about, which remained outside the picture frame.
Richard Wilkinson was born and spent his childhood on the south coast of England, but after studying fine arts in college he set out to conquer the capital. Now he is an illustrator, whose works are periodically flashed in the press. Richard Wilkinson's clients include Time Magazine, Penguin Books and The Telegraph. The up-and-coming artist is now preparing for exhibitions of color illustrations in New York and San Diego.
The color illustrations by Richard Wilkinson are intended to draw the public's attention to the serious issues raised by magazine articles. For example, one of the most recent works by Richard Wilkinson is the picture “Learn To Love Fat”, commissioned by one of the health magazines. The artist says that it would be great if his work changed someone's attitude to the problem of excess weight and destroyed the "fad" about the coveted 90-60-90, because happiness is not in them.
Typically, work on a drawing begins with a few sketches that illustrate an idea. Sometimes the artist is immediately enlightened, but sometimes the first thought requires a long run-in, and you have to sweat. Richard Wilkinson's favorite illustration is usually the last one at the moment. And within a month the artist may hate her. After all, time passes, and you need to take on a new task, modify the style and not be afraid of experiments.
Sometimes Richard Wilkinson first draws sketches on paper, and only then scans them and continues to work in Photoshop. But the artist notes with regret that you can't draw much on paper: one wrong move - and you have to start all over again. The "Undo" function is clearly lacking here.
