Illistrator background project.

This week we learnt the basics of Adobe Illustrator, well tried to learn it, bit lost at the start. We had to design our own background, so I desided to design one for my pre production pitch with was teacher. I designed a hall way and front door of the comprehensive school. I've enjoyed it, I picked up illustrator as I went on and its really handy for different things. Hope you like!

Here's my initial design.

The first layer. Hallway with colour.

Finished background. Added Overlay (The school doorway) texture, shadow, lighting.

funny idea!

My friend had an idea about a cactus with a drinking problem, so I thought id design it for him, and I liked it so much I thought id post it.

Some old glammies work.

Haven't posted for a while, so thought id putt up the work I did for the Glammies. I designed and coloured the establishing shot for the fairy tale idea. Then I thought, designed and animated the snow white idea (not the background) where the fairly good mother turns her world upside down. Hope you like, feel free to comment!

Different style!

So far I've been using very crisp line on most of my designs but today I used more my style which is more free and messy. Tim Burton is a major influence on how I draw like this because I really like the free scribbly style of his drawings. I need to add colour to a couple more, then I'll upload them. Hope you like them! 

need to add colour to this one.

Favorite idea so far!

I needed to add some colour to my work and left my water colours at home so thought I'd use my new pen tablet! The character I chose was the drama teacher, this is probably my favorite character because everything about the design suits him. I thought his character could walk around with the shakespeare skull and re-site lines from it because he wants to show off his knowledge, and he thinks he's really famous, even though he isn't. I really like the way I coloured him, I didn't add too much detail, just enough to get the character to stand out! Hope you like it, feel free to leave a comment! 

Designing!

Started designing last monday, really been enjoying it! I decided to go with the teachers idea so had a wide range of possible characters to design! At first I created the first teacher characters that came to my head, and trying different styles using my research. Then I plan on narrowing the teachers down to the ones I think could  be used best! Here's some ideas I had at first, quite a variety there, I do have more to upload but their I left them in uni! So....hope you like them, let me know what you think and I'll keep you posted with more updated ideas!
