Luiza Plak - my materials investigation

 Finally, I decided to post the last piece. The project evaluated from the small object into two personalities. Below I attached first sketches, the concept evaluated when I was making the rest of the pieces. Structure and picture which I have been looking for did not change. Still, the colours and tones are related to Banksy's mural conceptions.  On the upper photo, it is easy to see the triangle structure. I reckon that it was a common procedure in urban art. Especially you can see it in the previous post with resources.  The rose was changed into a mask. I decided to simplify the message.   After a few sessions in Eric Wood building, I have learned how to catch characterise elements of the face and draw as well. In many of Banksy's wall arts, I saw the titles indicated by someone. For example, the child who was looking into the object with the message. Or a scene when someone is actually writing the message. My self-study time extremely reduced during the pas...

So far so good today. I hopefully managed to end the series of small pieces. This one I would like to show from a different perspective. I enjoy the game with shadows and lights. To make it easier during the process I drew a sun in the left corner. With that, I will know exactly which part of the body will be the brightest. The picture above shows the biggest obstacle. When I released the sketch layer, the real picked colours were too vivid. It persuaded me to tone it down a little. So, I took a brush and enjoy myself with granularity, flow and pressure. I wanted to make it fresh. At the end the final touches included those green line-shapes.  Here, I repeated the same process as with previous entries with a major project. The only thing what I will change, it is the mockup shoot. I should cut the edges for a better preview of overall graffiti work. To sum up, it is a satisfactory result for me.

Another long session in Eric Wood building and I came out with second final graffiti piece. Like in the previous one, I have chosen a drawing from my sketchbook and drag it into an A4 format.  With the feather tool, I have created the shape of each part of the body. In addition, I picked the colours. Today I have been more focused on the brush granularity. I have switched the spacing and size. The effect was not the same as yesterday. The distinguish between patterns, especially with 'dots' pattern and shadows on the shape edges. Because the significant in this work is the hand. I pulled a lot of effort to sketch the wrinkles and place the bright section. I had to make some glimpses before overall drawing part gestures. Like before, I placed the png format into the mockup wall. It will be the same picture as yesterday. I think is more suited to this design.
