Throughout this subject within the degree, I feel I have developed my design skills, I have learnt how to use photoshop and coral draw which I hadnt used before.

From doing this blog I have learnt how to use coral draw and photoshop alot better and have discovered I enjoy using them. Coral draw and photoshop is good as it is alot quicker at producing multiple images and also makes the illustrations alot clearer looking. I also enjoy the sketching part of this assignment, the sketchings I produced from the Elisa Mazzone, I found rather easy to do.

Both illustrations I have chosen are completely different, Jason Brooks does most of his illustration with the use of photoshop while Elisa Mazzone uses mostly sketching pencils and paints to create a detailed illustration.

Final Illustration - combination of both Elisa Mazzone and Jason Brooks' style

The following illustrations are the step by step illustrations I created in the style of both Elisa Mazzone and Jason Brooks combined. With Elisa using mostly sketching in ther illustrations and photoshop being Jason's trademark style, I have created an illustration with the use of both these techniques.

Step 1: I drew an image of an fashion figure, I use sketching pencils and shaded in just half of the illustration, which is a technique Elisa Mazzone does.



Step 2: I then scanned the image into coral draw and created shading on coral draw over my own sketching drawing.

Step 3: I added more colour to my illustration using coral draw.

The following images in this post are illustrations of 3 Elisa Mazzone illustrations in which I have created my own step by step attempts at creating a similar version with the last step in the style of my other choosen illustrator Jason Brooks.

Illustration 1: The orginal illustration by Elisa Mazzone.

Step 1: I created this by sketching the face with use of lighter and darker sketching pencils and a fleshy coloured pencil for the lips.

Step 2: I then scanned my drawing onto the computer and used photoshop to create the black effect around the face which makes the face stand out more.

Step 3: I created this final illustration of the Elisa Mazzone image in the style of Jason Brooks. I used Coral Draw to create it.

Illustration 2: The orginal Elisa Mazzone illustration.

Step 1: I created this Elisa Mazzone illustration using sketching pencils and coloured pencils for the butterfly. I purposly shaded in only one side of the illustration as this is a style in which Elisa Mazzone uses.

Step 2: For this image I scanned my drawing into the computer and used photoshop to create the black background and also used photoshop to create some of the darker shaded areas.

Step 3: For this illustration I added some Coral draw to the left eye in the style of Jason Brooks illustrations.

 

Illustration 4: The original Elisa Mazzone illustration.

 Step 1: I drew an outline of the same Elisa Mazzone illustration.

Step 2: I used Coral Draw to create this effect similar to Jason Brooks style.
