Experiment With Inked Layers

I created a fake screen print, by using some different images that I researched and found off Pinterest, that had different patterns and texture and also by using some images that I created myself using black ink and a brush.

I gathered 20 different images, and then I stuck them down on 5 different pieces of plain card, so that I had 4 different images on the different pieces of card. 

After I had created the different images, I scanned them into Photoshop, where I could change the opacity of the images and also I could experiment with different colours to try and created a fake screen print. Firstly I experimented with the colours of yellow, green and black, used different hues/saturations of the colours and changed the opacity of the colours as well.

Next, I experimented with different colours. This time I chose to use the colours black, orange, purple and red. I changed the hues, saturations and the opacity of the colours and images, to try and create different screen prints, that looked like they had different textures.

These are some of the screen prints that i created using Photoshop, by using different hues and saturations of colours.

This is my overall, favourite fake screen print that I created using Photoshop. I found that the colours all worked well together and I thought that I could potentially incorporate this design into some of my ideas and designs for this unit.

Emulation

To create my emulation, i created a drawing that fitted in with my theme of the book cover, which is a zoo. I inked two drawings in black ink, then i scanned them into Photoshop.

I used blue for one of the inked layers and pink for the other. I layered them on top of each other and multiplied the layers, to get a screen print effect.

I decided to add more to the blue inked layer to make it look more busy. These are the separate layers that i created to make my emulation.

I added a texture to the background of this piece to give it a hand made feel to it.

This is my final emulation.

Watercolour -Zookeeper

I drew out the image of the zookeeper, using just a pencil.

After I had drawn the zookeeper out, I decided to use watercolour to colour him in. I used the Same colours as what was on the image i had drawn out.

Copy of Joohee Yoon "Beastly Verse"

I decided to copy this as well. I inked out the different colours of the image on separate lay out paper.

Once i had done that i scanned them into Photoshop to change the colours.

I layered them on top of each other and multiplied the layers to create my copy.

This is my final copy.

Second Copy

This is another copy that i created, using watercolour. I drew out this image in stages, making sure that i added the details of the image. Once i had drawn it out i coloured it in using watercolours and i added detail as well using watercolours. Once i had finished watercolouring my drawing i went over it in black fineliner to make it stand out.

Copy

This is one of the pieces that i have chosen to do for my copy. I decided to do this for my copy because i wanted to do the same design technique that has been used to created this piece. To create this copy, I firstly drew out the design of the rabbits first a couple of times. I did this so that I could see which one of the four was more like the copy. 

After I had drawn out the rabbits, I then went over the pencil drawings with fineliner pen, so that I could get more detail on the drawings and so I would be able to see them as well, for when i came to colour them.

After I had finished going over the drawings with fineliner, I then went onto colour them. I used watercolour to do this. I tried out different shades of the colours from the piece i am copying, so that i could find the right colour that was similar.
