Master Study 4
This is my fourth master study. Instead of using the Schiele piece I had originally chosen (as much as I love his work) I decided to try a classic illustration look and went with Beatrix Potter, which has a lot of sentimental value to me as well. I wanted to challenge myself on this one instead of simply creating a "generic" line rendering of the piece in illustrator because of the style of the original pen and ink version, so to start out after creating the background I gridded out the original and my copy and hand drew the lines in photoshop with a series of calligraphic brushes. After creating the line image I went in with watercolor and cleaned up the lines. As a finishing touch I created a noise overlay of sponge texture to give it the look of parchment.

Ahhh! I love Beatrix Potter! You did a great job! I love that your showing that watercolor can be accomplished with digital! Yaaa!
ReplyDeleteGreat job!
ReplyDeleteAs a watercolor replica this is impressive. You have a very good handle on it. Good job!
ReplyDeleteThe only thing that stuck out to me as a concern is the linework. It doesn't seem to have as strong as an impact of which Beatrix's work has. (such as the mouse and the leaves.) It seems that you painted over the lines. As far as I understand for her work, the ink is untainted/defining. So maybe just move the ink layer above all the coloring? (very good job on the watercolor element though)
Looks like it worked really well Allison!
ReplyDeleteIt would be nice to get a higher resolution of the original to check out mores subtleties. Sometimes spatter can help break up lines and make them look more like watercolor or pencil.
