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?

Research on Odilon Redon

According to the title of my blog post, today I am going to take deeper research of the XIX century artist - Odilon Redon. All the information should be based on my notes, which I took during the class. In terms of preparing for future lecturers in University life. But I found out difficult to caught the important notes in the current situation. I believe that the lecturers in real life, in a face to face system, will be more beneficial for both sides. Anyway, I would like to support the pieces of information about the lifetime of today's character. In order to make my writing more valuable.  He was born in Bordeaux, France on April 20, 1840. Died in  His nickname was created after mother's first name, Odile. His father pulled him to study architecture instead of art, but in 1857 Redon failed the entrance exams for architectural studies at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts. But Odilon stayed in Paris with influential, famous friends such as Charles Baudelaire, Gustave Flaubert, and Edg...

Set Project: Final 3D piece

 It is high time to show the final 3D outcome. I have been waiting for a sunny day to take a picture of Mr Kite. I found a perfect corner in the window ledge. I managed to find some white sheets for the ''session''. Unfortunately, they were curved and undulating and having no extra ones I tried to make it professional.  All this showcase is after Photoshop edit.  On those shoots I wanted to emphasise his posture. Nevertheless, it is still a bit stiff. Here I captured all his attributes in front of him. And one more, with his hands up. Which personally, I can compare them with gorilla's.  I took two pictures from different angles. In order to zoom in the portrait details. In addition, one from the front. I made a few mistakes regarding background preparation. I could glue or taped pages together to avoid the gaps. However, the software edit made a brighter impression, which is definitely an advantage.  Maybe a thicker paper and front light would reach a more prof...

Art Portfolio Project: First update - The story

 When I took a look for the sign off sheet, it made me think about the story for my Leporello. I pointed out the initial ideas and spirit of the whole story.  It will not be act-playing roles, no dialogues. This six pieces story will take a viewer into a mysterious world of Native Americans.  I spent a lot of time thinking about how I want to present the culture and sense of spiritual world perceive by tributes eyes. I interested in the beliefs of this culture. I want to start explaining the background for the strip. Native Americans believed that all living things were watching over by guardian spirits. That could be; trees, wind, animals or people. Mostly, forces of nature.  Usually, the young boys were overcoming the ''journey'' to become a man. They believed that the guardian spirit, once fund, would bestow a special power on the boy and then, he would return to the tribe. Meaning of great spirit was a bit similar to be watched by an angel in the Christian religi...
