ILLUSTRATION FRIDAY - STIR

this weeks illustaration friday topic is STIR.

i took this and utilised the seperate letters of stir and came up with the small , tactile inspection robot that would be used for vehicle and ship repairs in the military.

Illustration Friday - WARNING !

For this illustration i thought of the warnings on cigarette packets and how depressing they can be to some viewers , i decided to do create a cigarette packet character based on Marlboro, cigarettes and put a warning id like to find on his centre. This was drawn in my sketch book then traced using adobe illustrator and then coloured using Adobe Photoshop.

Illustration Friday - REVERSE !

Here is the image i have created on the subject of REVERSE. it depicts words that are the same backwards as they are forwards, these are known as Palindromes. i created this image using adobe photoshop and used a simplistic colour scheme that was mirrored from the center of the image , i did the same with the text and mirrored it along this line. this produced a contrasting image that i believe exhibits the term reverse well.

Illustration Friday - SURRENDER!

This is an image i sketched after watching the film 300. It comes from the part where it shows Leonidas training as a spartan child. this linked with surrender because of the line used in the film ;
" Trained never to retreat, never surrender. Taught that death on the battlefield in service to Sparta was the greatest glory he could achieve in his life".

Illustration Friday - DUSTY !

A dusty dream

here is the image i have created for this weeks topic on www.illustrationfriday.com which is DUSTY.
this image is a photograph of my old guitar that i haven't played for a good 2-3 years now, it reminded how determined i used to be to excel in my musical skills and how much i wanted to be in a band and live life on the road.
i have not edited this image at all from how it was taken and i have applied no filters, i simply added a statement to the image to enforce the meaning and changed some of the perspectives of this text to fit around the dials and switches on the guitar.

Group Crit comments :

• look at placement of type and consider a different approach with the type.
• make text easier to read

Illustration Friday - Chicken !

image producted from the topic of chicken on illustration friday.

i was looking at illusions at the time.

I am going to develop this image throught the use of stencils to give cleaner proportions and crisper fill colours as i can still see the brush strokes, this will also enlarge the scale of the image as this was produced in my A4 sketchbook and it will need to be enlarged to anywhere above A2 in order to produce the imagery to a good standard with a stencil.
