Illustration friday: Swarm

I removed all the gray space from the original sketch and made the outlines solid black, I then cleaned up the area around the outlines and added borders to separate the images, this also creates a comic book style to the overall image. I decided to add a yellow colour to the honeycomb to define it more.

Illustration friday: Swarm

This is my original sketch for illustration friday before I edited it on Photoshop.

Illustration friday: Layers 2

I cut out the sketch i did for illustration friday and edited it on Photoshop in the filter gallery, i did the same with two other images to create one final piece all together there is five layers on the image.

Illustration friday: Layers

I chose to sketch out a set of Jenga blocks for the topic 'Layers', i didn't think it was interesting enough so i made the top half of the blocks look like they were falling over.

Illustration Friday: Reverse

I chose to do this weeks illustration friday topic digitally. When i first thought of reverse i thought of the evolution line backwards. I gathered 5 different images from the internet and simplified them on photoshop so they all looked similar, i then resized the images to add a gradual increase look. Finally i added a text. I first had 'evolution' and then i added it again but reversed, i then thought of the opposite to evolution which is devolution/de-evolution so i changed the text to that as it better suits the image.

Illustration Friday: Surrender

I chose to do another simplistic line art cartoon in black pen but this time i added a hint of red colour to the image.

Illustration Friday: Dusty 2

I wanted to show 'dusty' in another way so i drew a person blowing dust off an old book, I decided to do a simple line art drawing using a graphics pen. I took a picture of the image and made the lines more visible digitally.

Illustration Friday: Dusty

The topic for Illustration Friday was 'dusty', the first thing that came to mind was an old rocking chair. I sketched out a Victorian style rocking chair and made sure i was heavy with the tone and shading to create a dark feel to the image.
