“There is no enjoyment
like reading…”
Pride and Prejudice is probably my favorite book of all time, so when I was tasked with illustrating a classic novel of my choice, it was a dream come true.
Creative Process
Though this was a passion project, it wasn’t always easy, and I learned a lot. Here’s a bit more of my process.
Inspiration
Pride and Prejudice is so precious to me, and there are so many lovely adaptations of it, so I knew I had to do it justice artistically.
In order to approach it from a fresh direction, I let the multiple on-screen adaptations, as well as the multiple illustrated versions drive the way i portrayed the characters
I drew a lot of inspiration from artists like Mary Blair, and tried to give it a soft color palate that reflected the subdued felinity of the novel.
