Here are some conceptual colour studies for my last illustration assignment.
They were my 1st attempt at digital rendering in photoshop.
The next is my final image for a double page spread. I didn't leave myself time to refine the image or to render it to a better standard. Am annoyed at myself for this as i am not satisfied with the final image.
I plan to have another go at rendering this image during the holidays as i enjoyed the process of colouring through photoshop and would like to have a further attempt at it.
I am not continuing illustration through to the 2nd year of my course as i do not have enough credit space for another elective. I have chosen to continue photography instead, as i believe illustration is a skill which i will be able to develop myself, rather than studio photography which has to be taught.
During high school i illustrated a couple of children's books for a local author. My drawing and rendering skills have already developed significantly since drawing them. When i look back at the images i now think of what a better job i would be able to do of them. Some aspects of the original illustrations make me cringe....
But because i'm a sharing person, here is a small selection of some of the better pages;
It would be interesting to have another attempt at these illustrations using digital media.
One day...
Despite wanting to become an illustrator since i was seven i now expect it to make a better hobby than a career.
