Gallion illustration

 

Here is a illustration I have developed for the Gallion. I produced a illustration for a written piece of work for the Gallion  called Unplanned Penetrations by Elizabeth Chintua-Chigbu. I chose this written piece of text to work with because when I was reading it I felt a connection with the written piece of work. I developed an idea on how to develop a illustration based around the text quiet quickly. I Drew the illustration then transferred the illustration to Photoshop to add colour to my illustration.

 

I also added the link to the written piece of text below.

Illustrated lettering wall paper

This is my wall paper I developed with one of the illustrated lettering images I produced from one of the drawings I drew at the Horniman Museum. I only used one image for the wall paper because the image I used does not leave to much of a empty space between the copied images. I used the Photoshop version of the drawing because the image has more of a graphic element to it. I also designed the images to link with each other like a pattern. I used the horizontal tool on Photoshop to make the same image connect with each other like a chain.  

Photoshop coloured illustrated lettering

 

 

These are the two illustrated lettering images I coloured on Photoshop using the same colour combinations I used for the water coloured versions. I intent to use these two illustrations for my wall paper layout. 

 

Water coloured lettering illustrations

 

Here are two water coloured illustrations I developed of the two illustrated lettering drawings. I coloured the two similar to colour combinations I used before for the previous drawings based around which colour combinations worked best.

Further developed lettering illustrations

 

 

 

 

Here are two more lettering illustrations I did based around two of the previous drawing I did based around objects within the Horniman museum. I developed two of my drawings further by photocopying the two drawings to a smaller scale and tracing them. I then added more to the images to add more to the image. For the first one I added Venus fly traps, for the second I added lighting and a pair of opened up hands. I intent to colour them using watercolour paint and Photoshop.  

Coloured pencil illustrated lettering

 

These are the three pencil coloured versions of my original illustrations. I coloured the pencil versions differently to my pen and Photoshop versions to test out different colour combinations and to see how the illustrations would develop in colouring pencil. Some of the colours used are similar to the pen and Photoshop versions, but the colouring tones are different and are involved with different colour combinations.
