ALIEN TUTORIAL - Sue Hendra


The Alien tutorial was simple and creates a fascinating character. Combining simple shapes and bright colours, it was the perfect way to draw an engaging alien which could be used in a variety of children's books. The concept of the tutorial could also be carried across to other animals or characters in a book.




Sue Hendra graduated from Brighton University in 1999 and has illustrated children's books ever since. She has worked on over 70 titles. She combines both hand-created and digital images for her work.

Her style of illustration pairs simplicity, vibrancy and interesting topics to provide engaging graphics. One such book is Keith the Cat with the Magic Hat.



Evaluation: Although I will not be creating an alien, I found that the concept was engaging. I believe that I will be using the method to create some of the secondary characters in the book, such as the astronauts.
