The art of The Book of Life is definitely one of my favourite books. It's jam packed full of character designs, layouts and paintings which are full of intricate detail and explosive colour. The main thing that caught my eye was art director Paul Sullivan's use of light within his paintings. Picking cool blues to contrast against burning reds and yellows brings the images to life adding vibrance and atmosphere. The whole book is alive from every pencil line to every brush of colour the mood of the Mexican celebration, the day of the dead, reverberates throughout its pages. I definitely feel inspired and I would love to capture the same texture and life in my work.
