Tagaloa's Rock Finals

 These are a few of my finals in colour for the Tagaloa's Rock story.

This first image was originally  a  dry point print which I then photocopied and coloured in with Pro Markers, crayons, pencil and a white paint pen.

I enjoyed colouring this in because its a bit like colouring in a stained glass window. It brings the print to life. I enjoy working in different medias especially those that I haven't done before.
For this image it started of a roller print so I had the back bones of the cliff and waves. I then rolled colour on top with acrylic paint. Once that dried I then added movement and energy with a white paint pen. For the cliff and sky I used water colours I wanted the sea to stand out because this was very important in the story.
This is a more abstract image that I produced. It is supposed to depict Tagaloa flying above the sea admiring his work. I wanted to make it look like a birds eye view so that's why there is shadowing underneath the clouds and Tagaloa.
I also added the white pattern to show the waves and movement of the sea.

How the world began - Tagaloa's Rock

 Theses are some of my final roughs for Tagaloa's Rock another story from How the World began.

I used water soluble pencils again and Pro markers for the leaf image as well as dip and ink.

I also wanted to incorporate some type in my images because I love drawing typography so I tried to make the image below be a bit like a comic book with the type leaping out of the page.

I will definitely be working more in black and white in the future because it is good for getting different ranges in tone also I enjoy working in black and white.

How the world began - Pan Gu and the Egg

 These are my final roughs for a story our class had to illustrate. It was called How the world began and this was one of the sub stories Pan Gu and the Egg.

For these images I used a mixture of pencil, pro markers and water soluble pencil.

I don't usually use a range of black and white but I quite enjoyed working in these media especially the water soluble pencil.
