FMP: Sketches and taking them to digital
I started with one of the main sketches I had concerning one of the storylines. One of the main arches in the comic will be to do with people that were concieved using the powers of a specific crystal (used later by one of the witches to do battle in). Our main character, J a faerie type character, will be created by 2 scientists (another faerie and a vampire) that will be referred to later as her parents, who use the crystal to modify the way a plant grows to produce faeries (for good or bad reasons im not sure yet).
I fancied illustrating this scene to start off with because it seemed like a good place to start for now. I scanned it into photoshop and used my wacom to draw over the top. I used the oil brush setting on my brushes because it had a nice feel to it. I started off using random colours but after I got stuck I decided to consult the adobe colour wheel (another really useful thing I was shown by Amy a few weeks ago.. Ive been addicted ever since). It was really useful and gave me a solid colour palette to work with. After that I just had to decide which way round I preferred the colours, orange background and green outfit or vice versa. In the end I went with the green/teal background because having a green outfit felt very doctor-y and a few people commented it hit their eyes abit strong.
Once I'd sorted out the colours it became easier to make, I used a slightly darker yellow to hint at some sort of creation within the flower.
I like the final outcome, but I'm just not sure whether it needs more texture? It feels very digital for me, and a little flat?? I'm writing this down so I can ask Teresa about it in my tutorial
