SING A SONG OF SIXPENCE NURSERY RHYME

Digital Illustration

A book illustration for this nursery rhyme was created using digital painting techniques,

such as custom digital brushes. Upon discovering its macabre backstory, the rhyme’s interpretation

of the characters being Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn was depicted. Emphasis was placed on expressive

mark making to convey a hand-crafted texture, along with a limited color palette to ensure cohesion

and effectively engage the target audience.
