Luke Pearson: Hilda and the Midnight Giant


After Matt's illustration lecture I went to the Library looking for work by Luke Pearson, I found Hilda and the Midnight Giant (which I now know is the second Hilda Book).

I really enjoyed this book, largely due to Pearson's artwork; he illustrates a very interesting world in which Hilda lives.




Pearson has a great eye for composition with his pages never feeling too cluttered yet never feeling to empty either. One particular page that really stood out for me was the full page reveal of the Midnight Giant - for me this is just a superbly constructed page. Everything works in my opinion, the line work, colour and tone, space - just beautiful.
