Research About Illustrator Mike Wohnoutka Who
Inspires Me
Looking at children books for my project about
bees, I have found illustrators who inspires me to develop my personal
statement in terms of the children book design.
There is the very lovely and warm illustrator Mike Wohnoutka from U.S.A, who
works making children books. His books are full of a soft, warm touch and has
an incredible tender approach to an audience by made illustrations. The artist
likes to draw animals, rather than people, because by his words, he knows
predictable expectation should be ‘print of’, when drawing animals gives more
freedom to play around.
My attention was drawn by the book ‘Mama’s Little Duckling’ (Dutton Children
Books, 2008). Pictures tells the story about family relations, importance
of the mother’s care bring up the child. Being a most important protector, the
source of unconditionally love and an educator, the mother serves the whole
world.

Duckling’ (Dutton Children Books, 2008)
I like this book, because characters are
soft, really friendly. Drawings radiate like the sun shining and express
emotions. Images are a power of natural acceptance as birds reflects human’s
feelings. In my drawings, I am trying to achieve same level of visual
persuasiveness and make my project playful like great pictures of illustrator
Mike Wohnoutka.
The next book ‘A Teacher for Bear’ (Scholastic, 2011) is made in a warm, colour
palette, images are telling the story step by step; they are clear
recognisable, have a right balanced compositions.

Illustrations teach how to take a social
adaptation in education intuitions, social communication and the importance of
being itself. I like the bear drawings as they are made in rich variety of
animation (a movement). There are a lot angles of motions to show naturalist
sense of drawings. Either heads of characters are slightly bigger than reals
ones, and this feature gives more distinction for the exhibited personal
statement. The difference between an illustrators Mike Wohnoutka is that my
drawings are made using bold fine art line, but encompass equally warm
credibility.
The
book ‘Hanukkah Bear’ (Holiday House, 2013) is also ‘a target’ for my attention.
It can be used to teach predictions by helping to develop thinking. The story
exhibits cultural diversity as it shows indirectly Jewish traditions, like
lighting, a menorah, making latkes, and playing dreidel. I like these
illustrations as they show and call out feelings. Playfully made, friendly to
accept, and have an enjoyment of readings picture books.

Overlooked illustrations helped me to
understand what effect I am achieving in my design making pictures for children,
the importance of credibility level for the targeted audience.
I would like to wish for Mike Wohnoutka a
great success in making picture books for children!
