First Swap

For the first swap I was given a piece of work by Vicky Hall. It's really interesting to see how other people respond to the same image. Vicky had obviously chosen to experiment with photo montage and collage. The idea of collage would have never crossed my mind.

I started off by photoshopping the original image in different ways.

I don't really like how these two came out. I also don't like the fact that there is no hand drawn element to the work anymore. For the next lot of experiments I went back and redrew the woman from Vicky's image.

Really love how this one came out. The shapes are really pretty and organic but you can still tell when you see the image as a whole that it's the woman from Vicky's image.

Pixar: Day & Night

I've been working a lot recently on my own personal ideas. They mostly involve dropping textures onto simple drawings to give them a little more character...

I went to see Toy Story 3 the other day and the mini film befor the main film was called "Day & Night". I absolutely loved it because it's exactly like what I've been doing, but animated! It's really funny and it's obvious that lots of thought has gone into it. LOVE IT!
