Assignment #1
Step 1: In photoshop taking reference from the internet and/or personal resources, using at least 10 separate photos, create a portrait of a famous person or yourself combined with an animal to create a new creature that speaks to the personality of the person and the animal together doing an activity in a background. Create the background/setting using multiple images to place this creature inside a new place. Use textures and colors from other spaces to make the image truly unique.
Email me sketches( either the photomashes as sketches or pencil drawn sketches are acceptable)for approval by Thursday.
Step 2: Once you have gotten approval, Use this image as reference( or even lightbox a print of the image and add your own twist with your drawing skills) to draw a new black and white image ( whatever medium is most comfortable) that tells a story. Scan the image at 600 DPI in RGB format. Have 600 dpi rgb file ready for class next week.
Image Size: 7” by 10” tall, 600dpi ( pixel dimensions will be 4200 pixels by 6000 pixels and the scanned image should be about 72.1M
Image format 600 dpi RGB image ready for working at start of class on Monday.
Objective: Explore different ways of using layers and finding textures and images. Push yourself to try to use as many different images as possible.
Tips: Make sure that the reference images you are using have a high enough dpi to look good at 600. unless you are planning on redrawing the image using the reference completely and not interested in using textures from that image in your final piece. Also, use your own reference and mash it up with other ref. Be creative with your use of imagery.
