The gouache picee turned out okay, the tables were abit wonky and I forgot to paint in their legs (I was 1 day to deadline when I did this one) in such a rush but mostly it was okay.
When I took it to photoshop I used the clone stamp tool to continue on Matilda and her classmates lower half which didn't take me too long. I then digitally inked some lines and facial expressions on. I'm not sure whether in the process I have somehow made Miss Trunchbull look like an angry spanish teacher instead of an ugly villainous teacher?? At this point though I was just trying to finish it to a reasonable standard and I thought it was okay. I had to clone stamp the original alphabet at the top to make room for the logo. We were given a range of logo templates to put onto our images, but this one seemed like the best placing.
This is the final piece that I submitted to YCN alongside Fantastic Mr Fox. I didn't really have time to go back and fix the witches one back to a good standard. Out of them all I was probably the most pleased with Mr Fox, just because it was exactly what I wanted the image to look like, which is interesting being as it's the only one I didn't plan out composition wise.
Feedback for this image was good, most of the tutors liked the focus on the Newt in the corner and the water affect that was used to show water in the jug.
If I had more time I think maybe a more vivid colour palette with this one would have made it more appealing, I still stand by my decision to have Matilda in red and Miss Trunchbull in blue (just to show that they are opposing characters) although maybe it could have been bettered by some kind of pattern on the outfits.
