Mini-Projects.

I have been working on mini projects to help refine my ideas for the final piece. I have decided to drew a image and then use all the different styles of the artists i have researched. I am then going to print henna onto a drawing of an person. I have also been working on changing a photo of my sister in to anime on photoshop.

Reseach on human form.

After researching anime more i found out that most anime characters  normally have realistic human proportions. This means the characters are generally 7 to 8 heads tall. so i have decided to research how to draw people more accurately to improve the quality of my work. (Diagrams in sketchbook).

Artists

I have researched 3 anime artists:
 
 
CLAMP is a team of four women—Satsuki Igarashi, Ageha Okawa, Tsubaki Nekoi and Mokona, Naoki Urasawa and Yoshitoshi Abe
 

I have chosen these three artists as each have there own individual style that are completely different from one another. One uses bright bold colours, whilst one only uses black white and different shades of grey and the other has a sort of eccentric way of expressing Victorian times in my opinion, by the clothes and style of the image.
 


I have also researched  3 henna artists:


Pavan Ahluwalia, Ayesha and Ash Kumar

I have chosen these tattoo artist as they all have different talents and techniques.
One is very detailed and only uses dark colours on his work, another uses bright colours that stand out with dark browns to add effect to the work and the last uses block colours with darker and lighter shades to add effect.
They all have flowers incorporated into there artwork in some form along with wavy lines.

Filter Effects

Today I have used different filters to change the colour and texture of this image. On the first one I have used the neon glow which has changed it to blue and red. This highlights the henna tattoo in blue and the background in red making it standout. i do not think i will use this filter in my final idea however as it is to abstract and would look odd. On the second image i used as the filter this highlights all the dark areas and intensifies them so that they are bold and stand out more. This filter would work well with my final image as one of the main focuses are the henna tattoos witch will be brought out more with this filter. I used the crosshatch Filter on the third section of my image this did not change the image to much but it does add textures to the image, i won't use this on my final idea however because it does not fit in with the type of work. on the fourth i have used cutout which simplifies the picture i may use this on my work as it would help me to change things to anime because gets rid of the little details i do not need.
