Madreal (Derrick Hodgson) inspired art.

Madreal was the artist that I was given to research on. Taking inspiration from Derrick Hodgson's work, I then created my own piece of art based on his style. His style is flat linear art with splotches of paint in the background and foreground.

For this assignment I first had wrote down everything that I wanted in my art and then quickly drew a rough sketch- not knowing that I wouldn't be able to replicate it as well as I had done in my rough draft. I gave up and used my initial rough sketch and scanned and put it in Illustrator(- not being successful with PhotoShop and Corel Painter Essentials). Using my tablet I then traced my sketch and changed a few details from my original plan.

I had created creatures just like Hodgson did in a flat linear line art style. Adding light colors and then using those same colors in the splotches of ink. I used scribbles for the tree and flowers and put in my own idea of giving the creatures a bit of a wash and hanging them to dry.

PaperZoo Project

Here is my PaperZoo project.

The backgrounds were created in groups using water color paints and was scanned in at 300dpi. The animals were hand drawn with references to the internet and then also scanned at 300 dpi.

Using Adobe Photoshop, the animals were then placed on top of the backgrounds and then blended in with the multiply tool. The PaperZoo logo was provided by the client and the text of information was taken from Wikipedia.
