After being stuck on Matilda a while I thought I would just swap to Fantastic Mr Fox, I read this as a child as well but also really love the Wes Anderson adaption. I did some quick research for this one, just to see what covers are out there and if there's any colour schemes I could use.
Obviously red/orange is going to be in the colours I use because of the foxes coats, I did also like the contrasting blue that was used by Wes Anderson for the film poster. So I've jotted those down.
Also the scene where the farmers start digging out the foxes is the most poignant in my mind so I think that I will probably illustrate that one.
I looked into other Fantastic Mr Fox illustrations and most of them are done in quite a traditional style, mostly painting if I'm honest.
I haven't thought too much about painting but I did buy some gouache the other week so It might be a consideration? I still want to persevere with the digital for now to see if I can get any closer to what I've got in my mind. If not I may have to start thinking of a different way to tackle this brief.
