“The Windfairies”

The Wind Fairies is a childrens illustration project I worked on during my final year studying Illustration with Animation at Manchester Metropolitan University, inspired by Mary de Morgan’s original fairy tale.

The project explores the story through a series of illustrations, focusing on environment, narrative and character design development. I focused on creating imaginative settings that could bring the characters and story to life.

Each illustration was created using watercolour and coloured pencil on A3 paper, allowing me to experiment with texture, colour and detail to build a distinctive visual world. I really loved this project!
