Zoe More O’Ferrall

Zoe More O’Ferrall Is a London based illustrator who loves to draw with felt tips, crayons and paper mate flair pens. She enjoys everyday objects and surroundings and enjoys engaging the humour of them. This is done by her exploring new places and draws different buildings which are found in lots of her drawings. She studied at ‘Wimbledon school of art’ and did a post graduate course at Central Saint Martin’s.

This picture is of a harbour and fishing in Kent. I think she is trying to send a message out of what she has done or viewed during the day. The atmosphere is jolly and excitable perhaps because of her use of colours or because of the way that she has expressed the pen marks on the page. When I look at this picture it makes me feel happy because I automatically think of the seaside and summer days. This picture could be a poster advertising Whitstable which is a seaside town near Canterbury.

Some of the picture is clearly done finely, such as the boat which looks as though it has been copied from the computer although it has really been neatly drawn and coloured in carefully by use of flair pens. On the other hand, the fish, which the man is holding, looks like it has been rushed and it is clearly done with felt tip colour as well as the beer bottles although this is effective as the picture sets of a relaxed fun scene and by not having everything perfectly in balance by the way it is coloured it appears normal.
