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 ...

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...
