Reference Pigs

For my FMP I'm going to be illustrating a children's picture book about a blue pig :D
I've finally written the first draft of the story but won't be showing it on here until it's closer to being finished...


The main character of the story is a piglet so I've been looking at lots and lots and LOTS of examples of pigs. Photographs, videos and illustrations... Here are some of my findings including some more images from the MMU special collections library!










From looking at these images and from looking at the way real pigs behave I was able to start working on a design for my main character...


In the past my most successful character illustrations are the ones that focus on simple basic shapes. I wanted to keep up with this style for this book... Here are a few pig character sketches...
