Week 3 Reflection
For my third week I focused a lot of my attention upon my theory work, as well the last elemental character, air. I really enjoyed painting the air elements hair that resemble a cloud, and love how it gives off airy and soft feeling, in juxtaposition to the tones of strength that are also seen within the character. When finally getting to the end of the elemental series It was nice to see all the pieces together side by side, moreover I can defiantly say that the water element would have to be my least favourite . I used a lot of this week to finish gathering my information for my artist reports. I really did enjoy fleshing out these reports and writing about who I am inspired by, as it helped me figure out the style and concepts for my last few digital works.
Week 2 Reflection
For week two I firstly stepped away from my elemental series and decided to try something new. For my 3rd piece I decided I would animate a blinking eye, this is my first time ever animating, so the process (which I posted below) was very alien. Firstly, I used Photoshop to draw and animate the blinking eye, I then moved onto the website GIPHY. I was inspired to use GIPHY due to the the book ‘1984′ by George Orwell, hence the subtitle that can be seen on my eye GIF (’I can see you’). With this online software I was able to make this ordinary looking eye look unnerving, surreal and eerie. I enjoyed experimenting with the different glitch effects and text within this online software, to create this ‘1984′ & ‘Big Brother’ appearance within my work. As an artist I know how to create these effects in Photoshop already, though I desired to test the website and was pleasantly surprised with the quality GIF it produced. This week I also finished my 3rd elemental character. I decided to give fire elemental character a pixie cut, giving her a fierce appearance while also keeping her feminine, contrasting the cliché brute design that artists often link with this element. I really love how the hair worked out; the illuminating look creates a soft yet also an eye-popping tone. I will post the process tomorrow; hope you all enjoy the rest of your weekend and enjoy the rest of my work.
Week 1 Reflection
For the first week I decided that my theme was portraiture, I will be doing a series of digital drawings (with some animation), as well as photography with graphic manipulation. I found my inspiration from these simple elemental vector drawings I found online. This week I have started my elements series, starting with earth, using digital drawing as my median and the program Photoshop. I am quite happy with how the piece turned out, it didn’t take too long, and I love the colour scheme. I have noticed improvement in my colouring and choice of colours since using my Wacom last. This week I also completed the second elemental character, water. I like how this turned out though I am not as satisfied with the results when compared to my first piece. I may come back to this piece later to possibly improve it. That's it for week one, hope you all enjoy and go check out my Instagram page. ❤❤❤
