The process of my Iluustration 1.

in #illustration7 years ago (edited)

Hello hello hello everyone


嗨 大家好
Today I am going to tell you guys how I finish an illustration
今天我要给你们介绍一下我画插画的过程
This piece of my art is one of my homework assignments called Conceptual Portrait of Guest Artist with Figures
Our professor wanted us to create a conceptual portrait of a selected guest artist,incorporating the guest artist's likeness as well as an approach influenced by their presentation,in mediums they use,or similar in effect. Also, include a minimum of three figures from their artworks,or actual artists who influence them in narrative or symbolic context of the conceptual portrait.
这张作品是我家庭作业的一部分,我的教授要求我们选择一位我们邀请过的插画家,并且根据他的风格和他使用的媒介给这位插画家画一幅肖像。
Therefore, I picked up Johnny Dombrowski, who is an award-winning illustrator working in New York city. We have already met him through the skype, he showed us his influences and his illustrations, and I really love his art works, especially how he chooses what color to use and his own strong style.
And this’s his website link.

所以我选了插画家Johnny Dombrowsi, 一位来自纽约的艺术家!我们曾经在Skype上和他视频聊天过,我超级喜欢他的插画,不仅因为他使用的颜色很吸引人,也充满了极其浓烈的个人风格。
以上是他的个人网站。

The step of drawing


Firstly


I thought Johnny Dombrowski seems like a mysterious and cool guy, and his tattoo on his arms looked really awesome and impressed, so I decided to draw him as a magician from the dark area, here is the sketch for it.
作画步骤
首先,我觉得插画家本人超级酷,所以我决定把插画家的形象设定为暗黑魔术师。

Secondly


I decide to use the same medium as Johnny’s works, so I decided to use Photoshop, and my pen was Wacom, which was suitable for the Wacom Cintiq 22HD 21-Inch Pen Display Tablet, Black (DTK2200), and then I transfer my sketch to it and reedit the sketch with it.
其次,我选择和插画家本人用一样的媒介,就是用photoshop去完成整张插画,我用的笔是影拓的,和影拓的数位板很般配。

And this is the final drawing without color, the reason I chose Lily flowers for the background was because Lily flowers were often white and represented purity and loveliness, so I wanted to make a contrast.
我选择百合花作为作为背景是因为百合一般代表着纯洁和天真,但我想制造一个强烈的对比,比如血腥百合。

Thirdly


I think it was the most difficult part to me, I needed to consider what color to use and how it could base on the model's character, and I wanted to make the magician looks mystical and unique. Therefore, I looked at Johnny's illustration and made a decision using blue and purple for the dominant hue.
第三,也是我个人认为最难的部分,我需要决定整张插画的主要色调,后来我通过参考插画家本人的插画,我决定使用蓝色和紫色。

Fourth


It was the time for the dark and light! I think it was the most interesting part because dark and light give the drawing spirit.
You can see the subtle difference between them.
第四,光影时间!我认为光影是一幅画中最有趣的部分,光影赋予插画灵魂。

Finally


It was the final edit! I have created over 40 layers , those are very convenient for me to modify and categorize.
最终完成!我用了超过40个图层,因为这样方便我编辑和分类。

I know it is not the best illustration but I will do my hardest next time, I am very glad that I have influenced by Johnny Dombrowki, and thanks my professor gave us a such great chance talking with him!
我知道这张插画不是最好的,我下次还会努力,我很开心我的教授让我们和插画家视频聊天并且学习他们的优点,感谢!

This is such an amazing illustration. I knew you worked really hard on it but this really puts emphasis on just how hard you worked! You did a great job! How long did the illustration take you to finish in total? How many hours do you think you spent?

Thank you, I think spent over 8 hours, do you like illustration? who is your favorite artist?

my favorite artist is my gf :P

The process is so interesting and the final product is amazing! Great job! I don’t know why you said it’s not the best illustration.
