Exploring Mediums& Characters
I do love how this turned out. I was looking at Andy Warhol's famous design as inspiration and tried to show the bold black colour against the pale yellow which i feel is successful. I used coloured ball point pens which i ended up really liking as they were very easy and soft to use which made the piece easier to complete, and i could try to get the effects like Andy Warhol did for his design.
This was a very playful character that i saw that i wanted to try in chalk pastels. It turned out very good as the chalk made the banana dolphin very smooth which makes it look more like a banana than if it was scratchy, like i've done in other medium. It was also a very quick design to do in this medium so if i were to have many designs to do in the future for a project, this medium makes it easy to get lots produced and still look a good quality.I like this character as you can still see it is a banana but the dolphin shape and features are still shown.
This piece was done with coloured pencil, chalk and coloured ball point pen. I did this design as monkeys eat bananas and this makes it easy for viewers to see it is along the theme of bananas. I was just testing mediums in this piece because i do like mixing medias in art so this is what i will do for the final designs and storyboard.
This tonal pencil design is of a banana milkshake to show a different form of banana. The tonal pencil made it easier to add light where needed and to get a glass effect but i could have made this piece better by spending more time on it but i wanted to move on to test other mediums and designs to try to find a good design to do for the final extended piece.
The umbrella above is made of banana peel with the handle being the top of the banana. This piece is watercolour but the paper is not good at soaking in moisture so it didn't take to the water properly but it just added to the bruised patchy look some bananas get. This is also just to see where i can take the idea of the banana shape.
The swan at the very bottom is pen and ink but it again didnt take much of the water so the pen wasnt able to be mixed very well but i still like the idea i created as the character looks like a happy swan so i could design a story about the context of why it is happy. I would have done it on better paper so if i were to do this again i would change it and also add more water to get the pen to create more tones and shades.
