I want to do this exercise again and again! I have to admit, I cannot always tell what medium is used in an illustration these days, the lines between digital, traditional and mixed are very blurred. I feel it is very rare now that an illustrator limits themselves to one medium, more so when youContinue reading “Identifying tools and Materials”

Assignment Three – A Poster
Bringing all that JAZZ to my work! I will creating a Jazz night poster. As always my digital moodboard via pinterest.

Just as I was about to start this exercise on skillshare a recommended class popped up called “Illustrated lettering: Design a book cover” by Jessica Hische This is a very interesting class which gaveContinue reading “Making a mock up”

Creating a clear visual I was a little confused by this exercise at first, so while I got clarity on what I needed to I browsed IllusratorsX and in my sketchbook, created thumbnails based on work I loved by Corinna Ice, Tom Banson, Cindy Frohlich. It’s made an interesting page in my sketchbook! I doContinue reading “Client Visuals”

While I rarely get out with my Canon anymore, I always have my mobile camera handy and viewpoints are reallyContinue reading “Viewpoint”

Close my eyes and just listen to the music An important note before starting this, I am deaf / hard of hearing and wear hearing aid. I will not be able to hear music to the “full” experience as I’m completely deaf in some sounds so its important to understand my hearing range is inContinue reading “Abstract Illustration”
Image development
Creating more visual interest This is something I do nearly everyday in a small way, for example when I need to crop a photo into a square for Instagram, finding that square that works the best. I found these strategies recommended… elaboration, repetition, simplification, abstraction, multiplication, superimposition, fragmentation, animation, serialization, stylization, rotation, reversal, point ofContinue reading “Image development”
