Some illustrations from over time

This illustration was produced one rainy day when i woke up and decided id create a a3 digital illustration. Although i started out with a a3 pencil drawing that i then scanned in. I don't know what it was that made me want to create a pyramid headed creature, but i felt it was a stepping stone to learning how to combine photoshop and illustrator in an illustration.

I made this piece in a college photoshop tutorial lesson on how to use layer effects to make illustrations look like they are inked onto a paint splattered background. i luckily had this paint splatter scanned in already for a previous project so i didn't have to mess around with photoshop brushes as i find they never quite create the same effect.

I decided id create an illustration purely in illustrator and after listening to a lot of tame impala i thought i would reflect the mood of the music. It has a dreamy vibe and expresses the idea of a wondering mind. And the idea of the floating dreamy head is shown through the character being a balloon.

I was set a group project at college to design a zine. After a short debate we all agreed a animal themed illustration zine was a good idea. i was given the job of the front, back and center two pages. I drew this giraffe to be in the double page and i even wrote a story for it. I gave him a neck that is split into multiple sections because i did't want this to be any old giraffe.

This was the cover for our zine. I had to use this as the cover because it was the illustration most appreciated by my peers out of the other ones. I used illustrator to vector trace a scanned pencil illustration.

This is my most recent illustration for a narrative images brief in which we had to create an illustration for a story . But i wanted to carry on the piece even when i finished. i decided i wanted to put the story inside the illustration to give the whole thing a lot more information.
