After experimenting with my final images for illustration ( Based on the book 1984) i decided wanted to focus on my final two. The ones i want most drawn to were these two...
I then edited these on Photoshop.
What i liked about these is the contrast of normality of the woman doing her washing and the extreme brutality of Julia being pulled away. I liked this "style" of drawing because it is almost childish but i feel it works well in these two settings as both innocent and not.
I wanted to experiment more. After experimenting with sketches of different angles and positions for the woman hanging up her clothes i decided i liked this layout the best. I added notes flying in the air of her singing but i didn't think they worked well. They didn't look good against the contrast of the ground and i felt it took something away from it.
I decided to go back to the original drawing. I decided i would add some texture and details and play more with shadows.
I then decided to try and develop the second image further.
I thought about the idea of adding Winston to this, i wanted to play around with the visuals of them being ripped apart from each other.
I didn't like this i didn't know if it looked better just as Julia and adding Winston added to much... I also noticed Something just felt wrong about the body positioning of the guard holding Winston...
I went back to the image of just julia and tried adding more detail but i was working to late at night and not putting my heart into it...
It just looked really rushed i thought... Like you could tell i hadn't given it enough attention. So i tried again...
I tried again, i decided to go back to the original drawing and work on it. I added details to the back ground, I didnt like the fire place but i thought about texture so i added some wall paper to the back wall.
I really liked the second one, the distressed wall paper. I decided to expand on, straighten up the door, the lines and add some shadows for depth.
I added similer colours to the one of the woman doing her washing. I wanted there so be a contrast of light and dark between the two because i wanted it to express the mood in each image.
I then decided to lighten it up a little bit and put them side by side to see how they looked.
Over all i was pretty happy with these two and i will write an evaluation on this unit on a separate blog post for the unit over all.
