Life in Technicolour.
As an FPI student, i'm throwing caution to the wind and trying my hand at everything that goes.
Since my college days i have always loved Jason Brookes' illustrations, his HedKandi stuff is brilliant, but how on earth does he take a sketch and make them into a glossy, 3d, animation??? I'm sure there is an amazingly easier way to do this, but this is my way.
Pencil (hb)
A3 Sketchbook
*put pencil to paper*
get 2megapixel sony erricson walkman mobile phone
(you could also scan straight into photoshop, if you have such luxury)
*take picture of sketch*
upload pic to pc as you would say a facebook pic.
save the file and open it in photoshop.
Once in photoshop the hours of fun begin...
So i basically made a new layer and drew over the lines from the original pencil sketch. What felt like cat n mouse play with me and the paint brush tool went out for hours... this whole thing became a "practise project" throughout the summer! Then i played with other layers and went over certain lines and fillers again because i thought certain curves needed changing, hence the different coloured lines. Then everntually i deleted the original template and was left with the pshop drawing ontop of the blank, checkerd background HUURAAH! Now i am left with a clean, electronic version of my drawing... and now to Hedkandi it up a bit... any suggestions? xx
