Si Scott

Si Scott, born in 1977 in Leeds, is an illustrator and graphic designer who developed an interest in drawing from an early age.

            After leaving school at sixteen Si went to Leeds College of Art and Design to study graphic design for two years and then after that he completed the one year foundation course. And to finish his studies he did a degree in graphic design at Buckinghamshire University College. 

His work is based in  modern typography, he started making the embellishment of letters and words and then he went on to drawing animals, figures, logos and advertising like  for example for Nike and Adidas as you can see in this pictures.

      With a thin black gel pen he makes all of this by hand, making the curves and the lines forming the shape and the form of the figure like the “Sea Horse” in the right.

         In the 19th page of my sketchbook I made a A4 copy of this image, using a thin black gel pen as well.

       The idea of embellishment of letters started a long time ago, how you can see in some antique books and bibles where the first letters are bigger than the others with embellishments around them like this picture on the left.
