Charlotte Hick's portfolio contains so much nature-inspired subject matter, I can see a lot of similarities between our inspirations as I also love drawing natural forms. All of the work on her website is black and white apart from a few images that seem to have been digitally edited to add a spot colour or coloured background.
Looking through her work made me consider where this kind of work could exist. I think her drawings could work in editorial illustration, book illustration, packaging, product, I also think some of it could be used for educational or scientific proposes, especially her anatomy and botanical drawings. Thinking this about someone else's work made me realise that there is no reason why I can't make my illustrations work in these fields as well. As a follow on from my conversation with Ben Cox, I feel that I need to work towards building a portfolio that makes it clear that my work would function well in these areas.
