This image was initally created traditionally with a combination of ink (possibly using a dip pen or inking pen/fineliner) and watercolour inks or paints. After being scanned to computer the image has been manipulated in photoshop (using new layers over the original image) using the brush tool with varying opacities to add depth to the colour of the overall image. Also, varying brush stroke types have been used to not only create a more 3-dimensional aspect to the figures, but prevent the image itself from looking 'samey'.
Adjusting the saturation to 'wash out' the image a little, and using darker tones of colour with the brush tool to create 'splash' marks, a dark mood is created, sending a strong message to viewers of the image. The detailed anatomy and shading created traditionally provide a darkened, low-lit environment for the figures, while the dark, warm base colours used in varying tones and textures (provided by the inks/watercolours) give the image an intense atmosphere, which is easily seen in this overall image.
I find this piece very interesting, well-detailed and particularly cleverly created.
This image was created initially with the traditional media of watercolour paints, pastels and pencils on varied styles of paper, which have then been scanned and merged into one final form using Photoshop.
The watercolours have been mixed using a large brush with plenty of water, allowing the colours to run to create varying shades and tones.
Pastels have been used to shade the musculature of the leg in order to create a softer line which still clearly defines areas of the leg.
The head, neck and arm of the figure have been created with a slightly soft pencil, allowing for darker shading around areas of the face that light could not reach (i.e. eyes, underside of chin , under the hair).
The colours have then been adjusted using hue and saturation, the lighting and contrast to brighten the overall image without adjusting the pencil drawing too much.
This image is quite bright and noticeable with its variety of colours, tones and textures. The mixed traditional media, which has been put together in a cleverly randomised manner, would stand out to the public eye and attract attention quite easily.
This image was created using watercolours and ink, designing both the foreground and the background with pink watercolour paint. This was then scanned and cleaned up with photoshop, removing unwanted areas of the image and any mistakes.
This image, although simple, is quite eyecatching in its beauty, and the techniques would be interesting to include in any future work.
The majority of this image was created in Photoshop; only using initial pencil sketches, scanning them and manipulating them with a brush tool in a new layer in order to create the professional final image.
The brush tool has been used to create most of the digital image, varying in opacity to add depth and dimension to the images in the foreground and background. The contrast and brightness have been adjusted to create a bright, ethereal mood.
Traditionally, this image has been created using felt-tip pens, highlighter pens and ink. The image was then scanned and a new layer was added in Photoshop. This image was then printed onto paper, and the artist applied more detail onto the image using the same traditional media to create the final design.
This image is quite striking due to the range of colours used, and the techniques used by the artist are very interesting and cleverly thought out. I would like to experiment with this ideas in future works.
This piece, by the same artists as the previous, has been created using ink and various paints such as acrylic and watercolour. The finished painting has then been scanned and edited with Photoshop, adjusting the lighting, colour and hue to create a brighter, bolder effect within the image. The various areas of paint could have been made separately and then put together in the final image to create a 'collage' effect.
This is quite a strong piece and I enjoy the idea of using thicker media such as acrylic paints in traditional media to begin the artwork with. I would like to encorporate this into my work in the future.
