As I began to create my design sheets for my final piece, I based my first design sheet on the photographs that I had taken in the photoshoot I created. I chose some images that showed movement in the photographs, and some images that just show the front view or side view of my model, so that I had a variety of different ideas to choose from when I developed them.
First development sheet -
I then based my development sheet on the images from my photoshoot, which I edited on photoshop, to create bright, colourful and eyecatching ideas. I did this by altering the hue and saturation on the images and by adding different filters such as, oil paint or watercolour. Some of these work better that others, as some aren't as clear. All together, I edited 18 of the photoshoot images I had taken, which overall I think work really well. I think it would have looked better if I changed the colours round a little more as a lot of the colours are quite similar on all of the images.
Second Design sheet-
Once editing all of my images on photoshoot, I began recreating them in a media I thought would capture the designs well. I first decided to recreate a side view Image, as this was a little brighter in colour than some of the others. To create this I used coloured drawing inks, as they are quite vibrant in colour. I applied a lot of ink where the colour on the image was fuller, then where the colour wasn't very full, I let the ink dry on my brush so that it came of quite patchy in places, which I really like. I also did this on the hair so that it looked like there was light hitting it. I really liked the effect this media created so I wanted to use this again on another design sheet.
Third design sheet-
Using the same media as my last design sheet, I recreated another one of my photoshoot images. This time, using a front view image instead of a side view. I chose to recreate this image as the colours were a lot darker and fuller than the last image I had created, which I thought would make them contrast well. Once again, I used a lot of ink in places where the colours were fuller and dry ink where the colours weren't as full, as I like how it turned out on the last design sheet. I also added a black figure behind the drawing to try and create a shadow like effect. I really like how these design sheets turned out, however I couldn't decide which I liked best to create and change for my final design, so instead of focusing on one design I decided to combine the 2 together and have both a front and side view drawing as part of my final design.
Second development sheet-
As I decided I was going to use both design sheets as part of my final piece, I wanted to try and create them using a different media to see if it would work any better or if it wouldn't work as good. I chose to use oil paint as I liked previous effects it had on work I had created within my sketchbook, which was based on the artist Leonid Afremov. Creating the design in oil paint, I used quite a lot of oil so that it would lay flatter on the page. I also felt that the colours contrasted too much together on the designs on the previous design sheets, so I decided to make the colours lighter, which I felt would make them look better at the side of each other. I used white to add highlights to the drawings and used black to add more definition to different parts of the drawings, such as the eyes. I really liked both outcomes with the oil paints and the drawing inks, and because of this I am still debating which media to use for my final piece.
