Mid-Point Draft

Here is my mid-point draft in which I have drawn my final piece.

Experiment 3

To create this experiment, I drew and painted the image in separate parts. First, I copied a portrait of a girl and then scanned the image into photoshop. I changed the levels of the drawing so that the outlines were more prominent. Next, I used water colour to paint the hair of the girl and scanned the image on top of the drawing. I then created several water colour droplets and painted the neck area. To add more water colour  droplets I duplicated some of them and changed the hue and saturation to change the colour.

Experiment 2

To create this experiment I used one of the the photos from my photo shoot and used the pen tool to cut out just her body and face so that I had no background. I then lowered the saturation so that the image turned black and white. Next, I duplicated the image and put it behind the original image. I blurred the image to create a shadow behind the image. I added a gradient using red, blue and yellow over the top of the image and shadow.  Finally,  then added a white background and added the name of the band and album name.

Experiment 1

I found this image on Pinterest and I liked the style of the painting because it has got elements of messiness but also has a clean drawing underneath. When I was coming up with my digital draft I thought about elements such as; acoustic music, imagery of heaven and sadness. The dripping paint creates the effect that the girl is crying.

I created my own experiment by copying a portrait of a girl using pencil. I then traced the drawing lightly onto another piece of paper so that I was not painting onto the original drawing. Next, I used water colours to try and emulate the original painting from Pinterest. I tried to create the same effect by letting each layer cry before adding more colour over the top. 

When I finished my experiment, I was happy that I managed to create the same elements that I wanted to portray. However, I think that it could have been improved if I had let more of the layers dry. This would have made the experiment more like the original painting.
