Creative Research - Luli Bunny

On tumblr I have recently come to follow a an Illustrator/ Character designer who goes by the name Luli Bunny. I have taken a particular interest in her work, because of her unique and simplistic style which works really well.

It looks to me as though she uses a mix digital and traditional mediums. I particularly like the designs she has done for the birds, because I think the stained texture they have works really well. This has also reminded me that it is okay to design characters sometimes that are more simplistic than others, and that in some cases, less is more. Also this has made me more keen to experiment more with brusho, and to see how i can combine that with digital drawing, because I think this could produce something really cool! 

I have noticed that her work is very shape based, and and the edges are very crisp. I haven't actually designed a character in this way before, so I am up for giving this a go. This has just made me more eager to experiments with different shapes and medias, because I do have a tendency to over think!

It has also got me thinking more about colour, and that sometimes using very dark colours can work just as well if it is done right. This is certainly something I will be thinking about over summer.
