What media will be used within the work?
Media. It does depend as an illustrator and a creator what media you want to loose. Example I’m a traditionalist and a digital artist. I use media which cross from Illustrator to watercolours, even monoprinting.
Within my project of this year for my BA Hons I am doing my experimental work as traditional work. and my finals or some finals as digital. Depending down the end of the year if i change my mind.
I’ll start with my software I use. I do my digital work with Illustrator and Photoshop. I cut between the two. An example:
Here is a make of my trees in Illustrator. This software I use for when i am creating my content. I use the pen tool and I like to follow tutorials with in illustrator to help with my creations. Example have you ever looked on YouTube a channel called pixels and bracket. I found the tutorial on creating flat design pot plants (Bracket, 2018). Of which I found to work for me in creating woodland features and using my tutors tutorials in lectures. I use these as a guideline for myself and embrace a wider learning.
I also use Photoshop:
Of which you can see here I use Photoshop to organise my work and add colour either with the paint bucket tool or the paint brush tool and magic wand. Again I’m obsessed with tutorials and this one YouTuber called Laura Price shows a brilliant digital paint tutorial on Photoshop. So much so its showing different tools and how to use them for beginners (Price, 2018). I recommend to go to her YouTube channel and check her out.
This is the software within media that I use. I am using this through out my BA hons illustration and for my multi textual children’s book. I am able to collide fabrics and other form of media within my digital work by hand cutting out my areas of which need to be textured. My intentions is to carry on with my digital work of which for the next semester I am able to use my skills for my end of year final show and collaborations with fabrics.
until the next blog
