Sequential Illustration

I didn't update any of my work because I just loose track and don't find time to do my blog. I have done two projects but here is the final images for my previous project. I had to design a protagonist and had to place them in a sequence of 5 images. The story is about how Zinnia was born without wings; she has to be independent and clever to make a pair for herself. I did a mixed media shoot similar to my last Narrative project. Zinnia is made from photos of flowers I took myself, along with a drawn body. I then set her in the garden with a butterfly I bought and shot the scenes.

Nithin Rao Kumblekar Inspiration piece - Methodology

After looking into Nithin Rao Kumblekar I drew up a sketch of a robin to put onto some stock. I found this beautiful photo provided by Faestock on Deviantart. I added the cloak over the top in red to match the colours of a Robin. I am ultra happy with this picture; the beauty of the model matches the elegance and nobleness of the Robin.

Mixed Media - Methodology

I decided to do some work with water colours and incorporate some photography in with the work. So I thought about using my own stock photos mixed with an illustration of a Robin. It was pretty simple pasting it onto the post but I like how easily the Robin fits into place as if it weren't an illustration at all. I think I might try out different styles of drawing and paste it into similar photographs.

 

I like the contrast of the black post and green vegetation against the Orange breast of the Robin. I'll probably add some artists who use mixed media in this style to my sketch book.

 I found an artist called Nithin Rao Kumblekar which produced a whole series of illustrative images mixed with photographs which I love and would definetely try and do some influential images from.
