Set Project: First parts of the Leporello (software and colour palette)

 I notice an improvement in terms of software skills. The additional drop-in with Mr Visser helps me determine what effect I want to reach.

O the previous post I explained problems with using Illustrator. The process of tracing the image evokes the biggest confusion in the cause of the number of patches. I cannot assemble them. This time I was only hinged upon this software in the further process. 

On Friday, I explained my problem to Mr Visser and we conducted the possible solutions straight on software. However, I have got advise to edit the process in Photoshop. 

It took hours of watching the videos on how to vectorise objects and filling with colour. Either way, it was a complicated process. Considering the time until the deadline and learning new software, I decided to end up the illustration in photoshop.

Even Hertbruggen's style is painterly, mostly because of artisan methods. I was unable to find how he works on software.

In this post, I will share the whole process behind the 2 pieces step by step. Including also changing ideas almost every hour.

This screenshot present my tool experimentations. I have got an acess to adobe tools, allows me to discover more options in reaching the fine texture.

I came back to the background from the Illustrator version, to see wheter there was sometching what I can fixed. Hovewer, it was a flat image, so I could not change much.

As I promised, I started to use the colour palette. I found it helpful, especially in the large colour spectrum. Those shades I took from the one of Hertbruggen's pieces. 

I inserted the sketches of the first two (A5) pieces.

Usually, I take a pen tool to create shapes. I only needed colours to work with.

I picked the one taken in a daylight. Becouse those the first part of the story begins in sunrise.

I created a two palletes and I realised, that I did not have any picture to look at.

As you can see. there is a poor effort to make it eye-friendly.

Milanote - the most efficiennt website from the previous term. It allows to conduct the whole brainstorming, especially on PC, when I need a handy notes and pictures in one place.

There is a lot of picture of the colours and views which I feel are desirable for this project. Still, I have a problem with a full lengh picture of day timeline. I found only two, enough for suggestion.

I have been working on the sky for a while.

Then, I placed the picture with 40% visibility.

I convinced myself to keep this track. Therefore I took the screenshot with dealay.

The 'island' big meadow thing was the most difficult to explosure the lighener part of the green.

I deduct to assemble  whole parts of leporello to add the layer of texture at the end. By meaning ''texture'' it will be a hand-drawing of grass, clouds, details but this time in photoshop.

This is how the leporello will be looks like. I would need a two more parts to inset the main character and final detail-drawing layer

This is not a complete part. I noticed, that the piece over-textured. I will delete the front textures in regards to create a ''space'' between the mountains and the scene.

The next post will be about the second part of the illustration.

.....I need to implement a gramma correction....

During the process I came up with an idea to vizualise the leporello backstory. I need to implement the sun to clarify the day times. The circle on the picture means the sun. And as I mentioned before, in the middle is the mountain. It is basically the same sketch from the pevious post, but in three dinementional version. The part ''1'' I presented on this post.
