'I want readers to make up their own story and find out what happens to the characters'
Shirley Hughes is very popular illustrator, her work is mainly for childrens books such as her Alfie collections, as seen above.
Mention Shirley Hughes to almost any parent with young children and you trigger the kind of enthusiasm most people leave behind in their childhood.
Hughs success rests just as much on her broad terms of reference, her shrewd perceptions or real life and intellectual, as well as emotional, approach to any subject. Her images not only look good, but they work too; the clothes are real clothes, the characters play with real toys and they seem to have real histories that Hughes wants you to discover.
I enjoyed reading this article as Hughes' work is of what i am generally interested in as a future career. Her books are realistic but made for children. Her work is very eye catching and is generally appealing.
