Ella and Fox

So in my previous blogpost I mentioned the Children's story that I was attempting to create. Obviously, as this was only a 6 week project, I was unable to complete the whole book itself, that would be madness, and probably slightly shit as well, because it would have been rushed. Taking this into account I decided to choose a couple of frames from the story to develop further. 

I had a really fun time experimenting with this, as in the past I have stuck to scanned drawings adding colour from only the palettes in Photoshop. However this time i decided that scanning in my own materials would add another dimension to my images, and create a sort of quirk that it otherwise might not have held. Not all of the image contains scanned materials, but at least a couple of aspects in each do, and Ella's dress is scanned material. 

Here are what I ended up with. I do think that these could be much improved, but time management is not something I am a pro at, so time was not on my side when it came to creating these! 


In this frame Ella has decided to begin her search for the
mystical creature she continuously encounters (the fox) 



In this frame Ella comes across another clue that there is an animal lurking in the woods,
but she doesn't know that it's a Fox yet

The Perfect Cup of Tea

Soooo, Ive been looking further into the posible options for this project. At the moment I think I have whittled the choice down to two, and I am definatley struggling with any further desicion making! My first possible choice: The perfect cup of tea. This choice would lead me to creating something based on  step by step instructons through illustration.  Throughout our lives we come across such commodities as road signs, escape routes, aeroplane safety instructions. Most are mainly conveyed through simple illustrations, as to be understood quickly and efficiently in possible times of panic. Although I would not consider 'How to make the perfect cup of tea' a particular urgency, I will definitely be able to take inspiration from the above instructions to help with the project.   In June 2011, Richard Alleyne a former science correspondent, and senior general news reporter for the Daily Telegraph until April 2013, wrote an article on how scientists had discov...

Fun with Photoshop

One of my original drawings for my Methodology project stood out to me from the beginning. It was this of three childlike Fennec Foxes adventuring through the Sahara. To me it seems that the three foxes are young, perhaps this is the first time they have ventured out of their den without their mother. Obviously they are cartoon characterisations of the Fennec Fox , but there is a charm about them that inspired me to continue to draw these creatures as well as the Red Fox .  Ive always been very fond of enhancing my artwork through Photoshop, although I'm still learning how to properly manage the software to its full potential.  Origional drawing After having been manipulated in Photoshop
