ILLUSTRATIONS

These were developed in a very thin, 60lb paper. Recycled sketch paper, dry media. Is a role for sketching ... not for watercolors and this decided because watercolor and fine recycled paper surface more excess water generated greater expressiveness in the technical gesture illustration.

PROCESS
THE ORIGINAL SKETCHES

Three basic concepts to understand the process of artwork. Firstly, we develop various sketches to find a definitive visual language for the story. We seek visual references as narrating the story. In this case the story was about making decisions, about a woman in a specific part of a specific site of the United States and with the option of taking one of two alternatives that once she (the protagonist) wise I was pregnant. The place is South Dakota and for this we conducted a search of the places you could go in there.

This was the first draw. The father looks like Homer Simpson. In this case a searching for a new style.

We need illustrations more expresive, with movement, naturals, etc.

Those watercolour sketches have the necessary for make the visual style for the narrative of the story.

We find several typical parts and decided to place our protagonist in those places. Once we knew the location, we would have to know how would look the woman had a couple of weeks. It took note of that and we decided was: this woman's face and rarely appeareth Ideally always see blurred or even simply not see, because to do a specific face for a story where "that woman" could be different women of different ages and different races then he finally decided to omit the face.

They were then worked in Photoshop, where levels are regulated, contrasts and process unfolds, I call, Post production. Since Photoshop allows me to make different effects and with this achievement to other lights and colors that sometimes not achieved with the analogous art. For example here shows two images, the original image colors watercolor are very turned on, too strong. Then look in the program to lower the color temperature and make them much more raw, more real.
