Set — Illustration

Mike — Sat, 19 Mar 2011 23:16:04 +0000

Set is a drawing that I have made into a digital illustration. I blocked out the shapes in Corel Draw, then recoloured, gradient-ed and brushed into the final image in Photoshop.

The digital painting process was fast for a while, but I did get bogged down by progress already made and the last half took three times as long as the first half. Even choosing a colour scheme took a long time. Not a problem you have when sketching!

Here’s some Work in Progress images.

I’m quite happy with how it’s come out though. Do comment.

The Blocks (series)

I was experimenting with colour, composition and repetition in these images. The lighting style is simple, but I’m quite happy with the semi-real look these have.

Space

Space is about the effect that space and clutter have on the psyche. A cluttered desk and crowded mind can spawn distractions like a hydra growing heads.
Space is good.

Arrows

Big, bold arrow based compositions intended for large format printing. I quite like how these turned out. What do you think?

Schmack

I was enjoying Photoshop’s gradient tool here, creating gradients maps to simulate metallic surfaces. Schmack is an dark abstract composition with single and dual monitor sizes available.

Colour

A big bright 3D render.

Gotcha

Gotcha is a vector tracing of a drawing, so titled because of the surrounding arm-shaped form.
