Airbrush Shapes Practice

With frisket, we were to make 5 cubes, 5 spheres, and 5 cones using the airbrush.  Here are a few of my better ones.  I had some trouble with the airbrush itself not working correctly, but when I got that taken care of a whole new set of problems arose.  Sometimes I would leave the frisket on too long and the paint/board would rip off a little.  There was also the issue of getting things put down in the right order so it would look correct.

World Record Marker Comp

For the marker comp of the World Record, I wanted the colors to look very whimsical and fun.  I made the background dark so the setting is at night and you can see the moon and stars.  People could tell it was the moon!

World Record Pencil Comp

The pencil comp of the World Record.  Some people couldn't tell the rabbit's ears were wrapped around the moon, but I think it will be much more clear when I add color.

World Record Illustration

Here are some initial sketches for the World Record Illustration.  I would like to do the longest ears on a rabbit.  The record is something like 30 inches but I want to make them wrap around the moon!


3 Image Gouache Redo

This is the redo for the 3 Image Gouache montage.  I tried to keep more white highlights in the figures and shapes to make it look more three-dimensional.  I think it turned out better than the last one because of that.  I also tried to add more colors in general to the piece, such as orange in Spiderman and blue in the butterfly.

Conversation Final

Here's the final version of my conversation piece.  I think Photoshop was a good choice of medium and it looks pretty vibrant and comic booky.  I drew all the lines and colored only with Photoshop.  For the parts in the background, I deleted the black lines and left the shapes so they look more silhouetted.  Go Batcat and Robin!

Conversation Marker Comp

This is the marker comp of the conversation piece.  I am going to emulate comic book style artwork with line work and just hints of bright color.  I am planning on creating the final piece with line and then color it with Photoshop.
