So far this is what I've come up with:
I'm still not 100% on all of them and I'll most likely hate them by tomorrow but for now I'm pretty chuffed with them.
Whats gone well:
- The colour scheme is pretty damn good in my opinion, the yellow and blues look really sharp and dynamic, and the black detail helps to outline the basics of what Nakamats looks like whilst he'd diving
- The media fits the purpose of the illustration really well, because its all been done digitally, not only have I ended up with beautiful clean lines but I was also able to make some of the details slightly more translucent to convey that sense of being underwater
- I think (hope) that these are more evocative than what I was making before, partly down to the colour scheme but also the jagged shapes that you can create on Ai, also I've been trying to think a lot more of composition in these last few drawings which I think can be the difference between something look flat and unrealistic like the first few Ai drawings I did to looking more dynamic like these
What I need to do now:
- Now I need to put my efforts into making the stamps and the poster which I really don't have a clue what I'm doing for, but I need to start brainstorming in my sketchbook
- Decide whether to carry on with working digitally (I'm tempted, its quick and really satisfying and I think looks pretty effective for what I'm trying to show here) or to experiment with monoprinting?
