Z<\/span>o\u00eb Kravitz\u2019s Blink Twice is a sun-blissed party movie that has freshly mixed cocktails flowing through its bloodstream \u2013 until it\u2019s not that at all, and the acrid taste of poison suddenly hits the palette. For issue 104 of LWLies, dedicated to and inspired by Blink Twice, we sought the inimitable skills of Leeds-based illustrator Sarah Madden to take on a portrait of the film\u2019s star, Naomi Ackie, who stars as unwitting food service worker Frida who is suddenly swept off her feet by billionaire tech magnate Slater King (Channing Tatum) and whisked off to his private island in the sun. <\/p>\n

LWLies: Paint us a picture of your work space. Do you feel it\u2019s perfect, or do you have plans to enhance it?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Madden: I\u2019m lucky to be able to work from home. My workspace is small, but it fits all of my essentials, plus plants. The best part is the view; my office overlooks the canal, so I get to watch the boats and dog walkers pass by throughout the day. It\u2019s lovely, but it can be a little distracting at times! I\u2019ve recently revamped my workspace, so I am really happy and comfortable with it now. I spend a lot of time there, so it\u2019s important to make it an ergonomic space with the right balance of practicality and cosiness.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

What\u2019s the first practical thing you did for this LWLies cover commission?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I always read through the brief again before jumping in. I want to make sure I understand everything and have an accurate sense of what you want from me. This initial stage is mostly research, so I watched the trailer a lot, read the film synopsis, and gathered images of the film (posters, stills etc). I want to get a feel for the film\u2019s art direction and find details I can incorporate into my work, like the recurring red flowers. Since it\u2019s a new film, viewers may not be fully familiar with its visual language. So, it\u2019s important to consider the references they have encountered, incorporate these elements into your work, and introduce something fresh and original.<\/p>\n

LWLies covers always contain portraits \u2013 what\u2019s your approach for drawing people \/ likeness?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I gather a lot of reference material to recreate the subject\u2019s face for the piece I\u2019m doing. For this piece, I looked for references of her face at the angle I wanted. I also watched interviews to see how her face moved as she smiled. Once I\u2019m more familiar with the face, I feel more confident to get a likeness. I will tweak a lot as I go thinking, \u2018her eyes are rounder than that,\u2019 or \u2018her nose should crease more here\u2019. It isn\u2019t always about being technically accurate but capturing unique moments on someone\u2019s face.<\/p>\n

What were the challenges of getting Naomi Ackie\u2019s portrait just right? <\/strong><\/p>\n

It can be tough to do a portrait of an actor as their character. You want to ensure that people know what they\u2019re looking at. For example, this is technically a portrait of Frida (Naomi\u2019s character). The main challenge was getting the balance of Naomi and Frida. Naomi looks so different in every film I see her in and of course, she looks completely different as herself in interviews or on the red carpet. I can\u2019t rely on familiar features like her long statement hair here.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

For this cover, tell us how you worked with the colours and the layering to achieve such a vibrant effect?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Initially, I thought the colours could be darker to contrast with Naomi\u2019s bright smile and continue the sunny-to-sinister narrative. But as the film is set on a sunny island, we went with brighter colours. I enjoy rich colours and adding moments of contrast in my palettes. The cover shows Frida with a false sense of security. To depict that Frida is unaware or unsure of the threats surrounding her, I use a mix of full-colour and linework when illustrating the snakes. I felt that the yellow was strong enough to grab attention in full-colour and was subtle enough to almost miss in line-work.<\/p>\n

Is there someone you\u2019ll show your early drafts to for instant, honest feedback?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I have friends that are designers and illustrators and I will show them work sometimes for feedback or a second opinion. I can get consumed in small details if I\u2019ve been working on one thing for a while, so I find it really helpful to take a step back. I also ask for my partner\u2019s opinion a lot. He\u2019s not in the creative industry but I find his opinion equally important and usually the most eye-opening. I think creatives can get carried away in our technical knowledge and can miss some obvious points.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

How do you know when one of your artworks is finished?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I guess it\u2019s never really done. You can tweak and tweak. I sometimes look at work that I did years ago and feel tempted to revisit and \u2019make better\u2019. I\u2019m a bit of a perfectionist so I have to settle for \u2018it\u2019s good enough now\u2019. Also, a client\u2019s deadline is also very helpful for determining when artwork is finished, haha.<\/p>\n

How can our readers support you and follow your work? <\/strong><\/p>\n

You can follow me on my Instagram @hello.sola<\/a>. I also have a newsletter you can sign up for on my website sarahmadden.co.uk<\/a>. The newsletters are very infrequent, but I\u2019ll try to pop up with something interesting a couple of times a year.<\/p>\n
