Two of the three books have arrived today! (^_^)

When I left for university this morning, a package arrived for me. I'm not sure what time it came, but when I came home I was left astounded, when I saw it on the computer desk. I instantly knew and realised that my books have finally came.

Here are a few photos of the pages:

The images are quite large for the third book which is based on the obsession project. The images are very large that I had to minimise them, so now I have no idea of how they would look like.

 

Obsession Project PART 4

I used violet ink to colour in the images that I have created.  First I made three shades of violet ink and applied it on to the drawings. When it was dry, I repeated the same procedure to add tone.

Here are three of the images:

With the violet images almost completed, I decided to create the front and back cover for the book. Here are the covers in three stages:

Now that the images are nearly completed, I will now scan them and apply a white misty background on the bottom of each page, which will be applied on photoshop and text which will be added in Booksmart.

Graphic Arts: Clothing to Shoes

In the previous semester I was working on clothing. I first began with selecting clothes and objects that seem to fascinate me. The images that were chosen were from image websites such as istockphotos.com and getty images. With the images that were chosen I enlarged them into A3 and created monoprints.

Here are a few that I have done:

The monoprints seemed to be empty so I used coloured inks to fill the clothing in. I soon moved on to shoes because I felt that it would be an interesting source to look at and maybe finding out about it's history would be awesome. So I went into the library and browsed around to find some books on shoes. Once they werefound I looked throughout most of the pages and selected the shoes that I found exciting, next I photocopied each shoe and made more monoprints.

 

I next chose to created colograph boards, these were made by cutting the card into the correct shoe size and glued the images on. I then stuck the card shoes on

to a rectangular card, and repeated the same procedure three times. In th

e end I had four colograph card with shoes on top.

I filled each colograph card with a range of material such as sawdust and tissue paper and covered the  board with shellac. Once it was left to dry over night it was then ready to be used to print. With the use of fabriano paper and printing inks, I created four colograph prints.

Here are all of them:

The prints describes frozen objects trapped with a large block of ice and colourful lights are shown to make the objects interesting. 

 

Obsession Project PART 3

After I photocopied the real drawings, I used a 6B graphite stick, to create a rubbings behind it and traced through the characters and backgrounds, using a ball pen. I used heavyweight cartridge paper, to trace the drawing on.

Finally, I inked the lines with black Indian ink and a nib pen. Here are the six images from a section of the main story:
