Project 3 Comps.

The biologist I chose was George Schaller and the illustrator I chose was Ernest Howard Shepard ('I Shall Faint') because he used lines of a variety of thicknesses and the characters are very comical.

12 thumbnail sketches (illustrators Shepard and Paddy Brennan)

Project 3, First Step (Heather Stallman)

I have narrowed down my search to two biologists:  George Schaller (1933) and Jane Goodall (1934).  The time periods I chose were the 1930's and the 1950s (because that is when both George Schaller and Jane Goodall had their highest accomplishments or reached fame).   There were 7 illustrators that stroke my interests and those 7 illustrators from the 1930s were Rolf Armstrong, Jes Schlaikjer, S. Cole Bradley, Charles Livingston Bull, N.C. Wyeth, Arthur Rackham, and John Lagatta.
Rolf Armstrong caught my interest because his drawings of the actresses (only face and upper body) were so realistic and having the background flow or incorporate with the outfit the actress is wearing (Lets Go Place, 1936).    With the illustrator Jes Schlaikjer, I love the way she uses different shades of charcoal to incorporate movement, action, and distance of each individual (Quarrel (Woman and Two Men) and Secret Encounter, 1930).  Charles Livingston Bull does a wonderful job of drawing wild animals (Two Bear Cubs in Tree, 1930).  The borders drawn by N.C. Wyeth illustrates well with the characters careers (Anthony Adverse, 1934).  S. Cole Bradley's drawings of sports players well incorporates every movement while the player is playing the sport they are in (Volley at the net, 1937).  I love the drawings done by Arthur Rackam because the characters are cartoon-like and his use of different textures of lines to incorporate distance, setting, and movement (It's that wretch, your sister, who has caused all this, 1933).  John Lagatta does a great job of drawing human figures in motion with charcoal (Golden Locks, 1933 and Teacup Girl (1930).
The 1950s illustrators that caught my interest the most were Constantin Alajalor, Thornton Utz, Haddon Sundblom, Alex Ross, and George Hughes, and Charles Budd Hawes.  Constantin Alajalor's and George Hughes's illustrations are cartoons and have a a lot of humor in them (Outdoor Barbecue in the Rain, 1951).  I love the landscape background drawn by Thornton Utz (Spring Cleaning, 1954).  The backgrounds in the illustrations used by Haddon Sundblom and Alex Ross incorporate well with the mood and emotion between the characters (Cahmere Soap AD, 1946-1951 and Summer Night, 1950).  In the illustration done by Charles Budd Hawes, the little girl looks very realistic (Phone Belongs to Youth, The, 1951).
