Project 1 - Version 2 progress

-

The record player I was illustrating has become a time machine powered with the magic of music and memories connected to specific songs. This illustration was prepared 100% with Adobe Illustrator 2020, v.24.0.2.

While the photo tracing is attractive, it's too photo-realistic. I will continue to think of ways to sort-of stylize my concept.

Project 4: In-Progress & First Final

This post is for an in-progress critique. I feel that it is pretty close to complete / resolved. I decided to keep the open space on the lower left panel and write a haiku about the images. Growth of life can be Full of unknown and known Blessings are made clear I used natural brush filters and effects to make the middle and right images look like a painting, and then used my Wacom tablet to hand-paint the background and around the figures. I also used the Wacom tablet to completely draw the Ultrasound image. I used yellow in the middle panel to represent the fear I felt at and right before the birth due to the high-risk pregnancy I had, as well as the emergency c-section delivery. I chose the use of the blue color for the right panel to represent the calm and good health of our present day.

Here's the original image: Here's my progress on adjusting the image and creating an illustration:

Although I thought the last version was pretty resolved I started adjusting the elements, taking away the triptych frame and the open space where the haiku was typed. I used the Wacom tablet to hand-write the haiku and adjusted the size and position of the first and second images. I also added a bit of black outline to the middle and last image to make them less photorealistic. I had natural media filters on them to make them look like paintings in the last version, but I guess at a low resolution on a screen it might have been harder to tell. This is IN-PROGRESS, and I am trying to think of how to further develop and resolve this latest version. Part of me wants to "complete" the ultrasound image that I drew, but I think a bigger part of me wants to leave the hard edges. Below is the original image. At that stage of development the technician could not fit the entire baby in the view because he had gotten bigger. Earlier ultrasound images don't have such a cute baby...
