SI #3. Progress!
SI #6 the beginning of doom!
Materials: pencil, colored markers, colored pencils Processes: First I sketched an outline with pencil. Then I filled in with colored markers. Then I went over the marker with colored pencils to add detail. I added splotches of green and red to hint at the transition from no color palette to mostly all reds and greens. Ideas: This piece is a transition from the normal to the apocalypse. The kiwi’s beak sticking out of the hood hints at a kiwi inside. I plan to use a different color palette and tone for future pieces. I’m tired of the simple, I’m ready to shake things up a bit.
Good progress shots of 3 or more.
ReplyDeleteThe drawing can be sharpened and notes can be added to really be able to use as an SI piece by itself. This will help your workload lessen because you won't need as many finished pieces. But only if you are really clear about your idea, medium, and exactly what you are trying to do.
Your comment that it is "just for fun" is not enough, we need art-speak.
Next time add your MPI even with the process shot, on the actual art. Either use Markup on your phone with text or do it in your sketchbook small, like the one you have, with words describing your intent. You can even use a highlighter.
Maybe refer to your inspiration artist, color choices for the palette, intention (what is it you want the viewer to feel: whimsy? surprise? are the comics alive on inanimate objects? etc.
Remember to use stronger colors going forward, maybe employ the markers to speed up your process, and vary your line quality in the end.
Good job Blaise :) I look forward to seeing the finished piece!
