This is one of Mathew’s design that I favour.
 Reason being is because of the simplicity of the
Work and the use of different lengths and sizes
Of lines. He also added a few tones to the
Portrait. There not done to an excellent 
manner,
But you can see the light and dark area 
depending on the direction of the light.



                                                                                                                                                      

An overview of artist:
A contemporary illustrator working in journalistic and publishing markets.
Matthew Hollings work bridges the divide between traditional draftsmanship and contemporary digital mark-making. Images initially start out as hand drawings before being scanned into the computer to be coloured and composed. Influences are drawn from a range of subjects, often found in the content of his work. Matthew is equally as comfortable addressing mark-making challenges of portraiture to conceptual demands of narrative.Matthew is a graduate of Camberwell College of Arts and currently lives and works in Manchester, UK.





there imagines are designs of matthew for companies and products such as tesco. He created a few ad designs and posters that were interesting to me. For example the one below of the social media and social apps.

Fresh from the Bank Holiday weekend, this is a new illustration I’ve done for BBC Focus magazine, accompanying an article about the future of robots and the likelihood of them being far more mundane machines than those often portrayed in film. I’ve been producing a number of editorial illustrations for the Grocer magazine recently and have thoroughly enjoyed doing so. The content of the images tend to be weighty enough to really get my teeth into and the scale large enough to sufficiently get lost in detail! Art Direction: Stuart Milligan.This is the latest illustration I have produced for BBC Focus magazine, to accompany an article about the future of the gaming industry. Though obvious improvements to game-playing would be in graphics and sound, the article explained how games could become emotionally intelligent, reacting and responding to individuals according to information submitted to social media sites. For the illustration, we decided to simply show the game-player sat amongst standard and personalised app icons that were being blasted from the screen, the result of which I am pretty pleased with.  Art Direction: Sam Freeman
