After talking about the chosen art style in class, I am going to change my style a bit. It still involves me drawing, but I will be going along the route of comic book styles, rather than WW2 posters. I feel that comics are more fitting towards my own drawing style, so this should be more fun to draw than from the poster style, and the colours used between the two styles are relatively similar.
I looked a little bit at popular pop art artist, Roy Lichtenstein, and his influences.
Russ Heath is a comic book artist whose famous works include war comics. I looked at his art mainly for his drawings of planes, which could be used to help me with my own illustrations.
Another artist I found who did some war comics is called Jerry Grandenetti
Joe Kubert is another war comic book artist, althought his style differs a lot from the other two.
The colours used on all of these comics are slightly similar to the ones used on propaganda posters - they are bold colours that stand out a lot. I really like the comic book style, so I thought I'd look at some more conventional comic book art to see how they are coloured.
One comic book artist like this is Jack Kirby.
