Big Heads; Kyle Webster

Big Heads; Kyle Webster

NOTES

Based in North Carolina between the mountains and beach
Traveled a lot as a child
Illustrated annuals opened his eyes to what an illustrator was
Society of Illustrators; got him work in 2003
Realization he could create work then find a market for it// didn't have to wait for brief's to come in
Figure drawing//life drawing was very important to him; a lot of time spent on it
Adaptable and diverse; confidence in drawing important
Considers himself "a working man's illustrator"
Being open minded can make for a longer career
Brushes used by over 100,000 people
Success of brushes largely because it was what artists wanted; something more analog 
"You have to be able to draw properly to utalise your tools"

WHAT MAKES GREAT ILLUSTRATION

"If it goes beyond simply decorating a page"

ADVISE

"Pay more attention to colour theory"
"Stay late to be better at drawing!
"Learn more about contracts, rights, fair fees ect"
