- 2. Text Experiment • Tutorial: Comic Text (Photoshop CC) - Behr – YouTube • For my text experiment I followed an online tutorial (link shown above). I made adjustments as I was following the tutorial to make it fit to how I wanted it took look. For the colour gradient I changed it slightly to make it more aesthetically pleasing to me, as I felt the colours used in the tutorial weren’t as bold as I liked. I chose not to add the comic dots to my text as I also felt this did not fit the look I was hoping for when I had adjusted the text to how I wanted it to be.
- 3. Reflection- Text Experiment • I would definitely like to used the style of text on my project, as I feel this would fit well with the style I am planning to have my project. • If I was to use it, I would mix the colours up to fit the colour scheme of each element of the poster so that it both blends and contrasts with the colour scheme of my planned work.
- 4. Process-Drawing Experiment • For my drawing experiment, I began by taking a picture of the original figure and opening it in Procreate. I then made a rough sketch on a new layer around each edge of the figure to create a basic outline. I made the brush colour grey, so it was easily identifiable on top of the photo. • I then hid the photo layer and opened a new layer. Using a place brush this time I created refined edges to the intuitively sketch I had done, to create a neat and refined drawing of the figure. • I then opened another layer and began to add colour to each section accurate in colour by using the colour picker on the original photo and then filling in each area. • Finally, I blended in the colours on the beak using the blend tool, to give it an even gradient. Then added detail to the eyes to make it look even more realistic.
- 5. Reflection- Drawing Experiment • I will definitely be using this technique in my final product, as this worked really well for me and was a fairly simple process to follow. • I feel this would make my final product effective and unique, as it would be my own style as I can manipulate the drawing to be exactly how I want it to look, and change the colour scheme to fit with the rest of my product.
