Ally Hodges - Illustration - Finished Work

[Ally Hodges]

Hello! I'm Ally Hodges, I've just finished TAD focusing on Illustration. I am working hard to become an editorial illustrator working for magazines, newspapers, and children's books. I've had a profile here for a while but never made any threads of my own work, there are so many people here I guess I felt fine enough to just look at everyone here. But now that I'm trying to make it, might as well either put up or shut up! So I'm putting it up!

So, here are some pieces that I've finished within the past twelve months, most of it within the past six for my final semester in TAD. I hope you like my work and if you have any suggestions to make anything better, please let me know! If I had to warn anyone about anything before you view my work...I really like color...lots and lots of color...

Thanks for viewing!
Ally

Also, I'm happy to say that my piece, Cicada Call, the one with the cicadas forming a dress in my first post, won the editorial section of The Art Order: Nymph Challenge. You can see that too here: http://theartorder.com/the-best-of-artorder/.

Ally you are coming into your own entirely. The colors are very vibrant, and glow glow glow. The work is also very consistent.

If I see one area for you to focus on, it would be your heads...and facial expression. Your hands are handled very well, color and marks..as well as the overall handmade appeal...all strong. Nice work.
