Graham Rounthwaite

Graham Rounthwaite is a well known fashion illustrator, and art director from London. This is the artist I chose for my Style & Technique assignment.

His drawings are emotive, and full of attitude. The way he incorporates the type is also full of attitude, with the whole "marker" graffiti look to it all.

I love the line work, almost like a nervous hand. Often the background of his pictures have alot of texture and grunge to it, while the hero of the illustration is detailed but clean, almost in a manga/japanese style.

Rounthwaite also uses shadows in his pictures, giving a dark/alleyway look to the scene.

The models are often wearing streetwear style fashion, with alot of attitude. He often draws the models with an accesory/accesories such as, cigarettes, bottle, jewellery etc. I love his work.
