Chloe McVeigh is a first year Illustration with Animation student at Manchester Met and works predominantly in a stylised illustrative art style. At the beginning of lockdown she decided to open up an etsy shop in order to sell some of her art as prints and stickers, which was an informative and productive experience for her. During that year she also did an Art Foundation course, allowing her to explore a breadth of new techniques and ways of producing art. It was here where she began to discover the medium of animation, which is definitely something she is interested in continuing to pursue. Chloe’s art is often centred around portraiture, whether that be of friends and family, or characters from films that inspire her. She likes to draw people because it allows her to create likeness within her own art style without resorting to realism. She especially enjoys drawing people and characters she knows well, because it allows her to add elements of their personality into the piece.
