I love David Dorans illustrations. Especially his use of character and shape within all of his images. His work is heavily shape based, focusiong on simple block shapes with texture heavily involved as well. As far as I'm aware, David's process starts off by working out compositions and ideas in a sketchbook then working digitally to block out shapes and work out colour. I think this is definitely why his work still has a 'hand made' feel to it.
Possibly my favourite part about David's work is his use of colour. His incredibly simple colour palettes give a really bold and harsh look, but coupled with the soft edges of the shapes it really balances out nicely.
Jeremy Booth
Another illustrator whose work I really like is Jeremy Booth. Again his use of shape and character is prominent in his work. Jeremy's process again starts of hand-drawn, working in sketchbooks to work out compositions and shape. However, in contrast to David's process, Jeremy does not scan in his work and work over the top of it; rather he recreates the image completely from scratch digitally and works from there. Which is why his work looks much more clean and digital that David's.
