For my 5th final piece (to replace my 4th) I have created a digital piece, of a character. This particular character was one of the entertainers, who came in for us to sketch during the people and character unit.
For this illustration, I used a photo that I took during a live session, as my main influence, however, I took into account some elements of my artist research, for example, James Jean's work features a high level of colour, I tried to add a lot of colour in this particular piece, this can be shown in the character's vibrant jacket. I think it resembles his visual style, but only in terms of colour.
I also notably took inspiration from the artist Greg Guillemin. I took some inspiration though his 'flat' visual 2d style in the sample artwork that I placed in his research. You can find the link to his research here.
I placed the existing pencil illustration, that I sketched of two characters who came in to perform a circus act.
I then sketched the outline, of the image using a 5pt brush, to transfer it digitally into photoshop, so I could work with it.
Still outline sketching, more progressed.
Ditto.
After filling in basic colour, I noticed the proportions were wrong, so I added to the left side of his face, and erased the mouth to start again.
With mouth re-added in to the piece.
Vivid colour added to the jacket.
Detail added to the chair, using rough, brown brush strokes. I also filed in the colour on his trousers.
I completed the colours on the hat, and finished his left hand.
I added some shading, to the body, and the hat.
Added extra detail to the trousers, and some shading to the nose.
I edited the left side of his head, and added some extra detail to the collar. The image is now complete.
