Set Project: Working on software

This week is one of the busiest. Furthermore, I got a flu, but I manage the time for my project as well. Today I want to share with my yesterday's progress on Adobe Illustrator. Yes, on this software I decided to vectorise the background and fill the colours.

Here is a sketch explaining this idea. 

In overall, I was confused, whether I should start digitalizing on Photoshop.
I remember from previous experience, that Illustrator has an option of traceing image to easy transforming into editable patches. This prosess I will explain in the next section.
This sketch explains how I will separate those 6 pieces. I came with an idea to split the horizontal A4 document into two parts to obtain A5 resolution. So, I need to create 3 documents from three background drawings. I have already done two of them. 


Here is an unnecessary screenshot with general settings per each document. Firstly, I need to edit pictures what I took before.  


I was changeing the levels to gain the high-contrast version.


 This is the brightest effect what I could get. I save it as JPEG file.


I have opened the file in adobe illustrator. On the left handside the traceing options appeared. I forgot to take the screenshot of this step. Anyway, I picked the grey scale option. Then I sucessfully started deleteing the sky. I need only the darkest sectors for the darkest colours. The rest of the ground, water and sky I will add in Photoshop afterwards.


Moreover, I had done the second part of leporello by repeating the same steps. 


  And this is the part where all the problems began. I need to find access to a quick and handy colour picker?-tool. I am not sure whether it is correct. Then, I would customize colours with the following shades. The example is in the chart on the righthand side. 

I saw a kind of website where they allow you to generate your own palette. But firstly, I need to think about the time of the day and how fast the sky will be changing.
I only have three A4 pages where I would consist the whole day. Let me explain that: the story begins with sunrise to slowly reaching the sunset, at the end of the story.
That is why I need to take careful notes of what will happen on each slide. My idea for the next post is about colours and sketches of the main character's lifetime. Before that, I am going to share my sketching progress of tipi and main character features.

I have two possible scenarios for the next post this week:
I am going to paste results from the colour generator with sketches, 
the other option (if I would have more time) is sharing my expanded version of Native American's tribes.

    These are interesting sketches - in your follow up posts talk about the story, how you are getting your idea across in your final outcome and also make stronger links to your theme as they need to be clearer.

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...
