Set Project: Second part of the background

I have spent a few days glue things together. Finally, I finished the background of the Leporello. I decided to keep it in a separate post. 

This part is about the middle (maturity) age. I had to change the sketch in regards to the picture that I found. This one (below) I took from my Milanote pictures folder as well as the previous part. I do like the colours of the sky, it is a great capture of the mountains and the lake.

I took a screenshot and pasted it onto Photoshop. I created an almost invisible layer, only for shapes (approximately).
When I reckon that I no longer need this tracing layer, I started to fill the colours. For the sky, etc.
Again, I repeated the same process. But I get used to the brushes and their options. It was not a random free picked brush. I know now what effect I want to obtain. 
I focused on light on the first stage. Considering main colours, taken straight from the colour palette.
I matched this illustration with the first part. Apparently, it did not match.
I created the general document for the Leporello. With resolution: 210x891mm. In practice, this consisted of three A4 documents (3 illustrations).
Here is another attempt at picking the right colours.
To visualise the last part, I made a quick sketch on a white sheet.
The last picture presents the final version. In the next post, I will further exemplify the overall look of the pieces.

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...
