Major project - evaluation

     Today I have to spend a few hours in front of the Wacom computer working on one of the sketches. I picked up one of the ideas, then I managed a few variations and perspectives to endure the initial objects. I had taken from the book Street sketchbook (2007) some inspirations how to illustrate the body or face areas. In this example, it was a face mask and viruses. All the process I have been preparing in Photoshop. I have to work on A4 format with 400dpi pix/inch, which is a standard ratio for illustration. I insert screenshots of how my work has been evaluating. 

Starting from a cut of the sketch form my board and released into my new page. The blank page I covered with the drawing. I have changed the sizes, created the new layers. Then I made each element by the feather tool. Everything I tried to keep in greyscale to define the distance up to the foreground. 


And the grey tones I switched into the wide colour range. I have been trying to indicate the role of flying viruses. So I refine for them the selected colour: light green.
When I assessed the colour clarify, I have started adding shadows. To do this, I usually pick one of the most textured brushes (like pastels) and changed the next layer into a clipping mask. And over again I have been repeating this process. Same as here. 

Finally, with a tiny brush, I added the attached elements of the virus body.


And the final graffiti I saved in png format. To review the final product, I inserted the listed file into my mockup.

Here I attached the photography from book pages - my inspirations.








The idea was taken from my mind, however I have been inspiring from the:

    Nice process post here and I like the use of the software. If you have got access to the books, then I would add some photos of the pages you've used to help you with the work here. To add further to this post include some reflection on the final outcome - is there anything you will change? Do you think it is successful as a piece?

Set Project: The exact reason why and sketches

 I have not straightened why I chose to illustrate the lyrics. As you may have noticed, I know quite a lot about music from the last century and always dreamed about the connection with visual art. Especially in this case, when the album is laid out as a story. Therefore, taking advantage of this opportunity I intend to make something familiar using illustration. You see, songs have a lyric - a story. And I want to share with those, by giving my version. In fact, Primitivism is related to the 60s pop culture and the insights I will publish gradually. The album that I chose is unique in terms of the tracklist.  Sgt. Pepper Lonely Hearts Club Band  has no gaps between tracks. Therefore they made an album that sounds like one continuous song. ''Highly debated it is considered as a one of the first concept album'' (The HollyHobs, 2020). Some of the songs had been established according to the newspapers headers/stories.  The reasons why I chose this relation to the theme ...

Set Project: Sketches and coming back to the first plan

In the last days, I concluded that I should focus on the reasons why I choose this topic and the style of this project. I think I started to be weak and not sure what I want to do. I think the reason is in a large number of researches. Same with techniques and artists to look at. I summarise that I am not capable to mix various inspirations at once. I came back to my first inspiration Anto van Hertbruggen. Because I always wanted to make art like that, no matter what's it gonna take. Here I will discuss the elements which I want to use to combine this pice in one. Here is the whole work with the background. As I mentioned before, I looked at how Anton work on his illustrations. He usually filling few sheets in drawings (as layers for one illustration).  First, I found a great view on google maps. I am interested in the territories of Canada and the northern landscape. The place is in Northwest Territories, in Yellowknife.  click I sketch this place on two sheets of paper. Then...

Welcome to my blog!

Tell me something about yourself:  I am a young artist studying IYZ Art&Design with Graphic Design BA, in De Montfort University. Live in the Leicester city centre. My pathway started since I have been influenced by a close family by Claude Monet’s works. Paintings made by my uncle’s hands were great copies. Those pieces of art have been surrounding me still. I have been studying at Art School in Bydgoszcz, were I gain helpful skills and workshop.  I would like to explore more possibilities to share my skills. The significant key of my artworks made by oil paints is the variously, including different textures and mediums. I’m sure that our expressions and feelings made us artists. In my artworks, I’m trying to take after my deep feelings of research and my inquisitiveness. Furthermore, I’m fascinated by the 50’s and 60’s century artists. Especially, Futurist artist like Boccioni, Silva, Gonzalez. Their appearance have been a tremendous impact on my art.  Claude Monet...
