Juxtapoz Magazine.

Juxtapoz;


Whilst searching through a number of online illustration websites/competitions and one of these websites was called Juxtapoz Magazine. In this website, I found a number of artists which include Jessica Singh.


Jessica Singh is a freelance illustrator who is currently residing in Melbourne, Australia. She is generally inspired by lyrics from "Anthem styled" songs from artists such a Bjork and Radiohead. She is also heavily inspired by ceremonial costumes such as wedding dresses and funeral suits, as well as traditional folk art, Indian comic books, and natural materials such as teeth, hair and fungi. She explores the power and beauty, (both natural and synthetic,) of women and their role in society, filled with massive bold colours blended expertly to create smooth yet loud images.


Jessica Singh's work, I feel, could inspire my own work through a number of reasons. Our styles are rather similar as I too tend to focus on drawing more female bodies and themes rather than male figures. I feel as though studying the layout of her works would enhance my chances of being able to draw my characters from a more detailed angle and not just have my characters stood in a static stance.










Arij Moka;

Another artist that stood out massively to me was Arij Moka. Moka's pencil based style relates to my own in the way that the use of shading and texture are rather similar.
