The Prophet

When I decided to make my 2nd poster, I started out with a 12.5 x 12.5 canvas and made a quick sketch, then I inked it. I started the project out like this so I could place it in a square border that would be made on the mini-poster canvas (11 x 14).

I then colored the head and the canvas, I went with 2 shades of yellow, a really light blue for the color of the hair, and went with a bright green for the highlight of the face. Orange was chosen as the backdrop because I had already decided that the finished poster would have that for the background color.

The layers for this part.

When I finished the first part of the poster I decided to use a drawing that I had made before the project was assigned for background material.

I chose this piece because I felt that it could tie in nicely into Main piece.

Here's the process for this illustration:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Once I decided that I had what I needed for the poster I exported both illustrations into the 11 x 14 canvas, for the first drawing I increased it's height, then made multiple copies of the green highlight, on the second layer I did a lot of line hatching, and on the third copy I did a bunch of line hatching with a smaller pencil brush to give it a cross-hatching effect.

With the second Image I duplicated the head two times and made each one smaller than the other.

I then added the background colors and the photo frames. Orange was placed first then the frames were made, after that, I took the background that was in the second image and used the light and the sky for the cactus frame, I used the bucket tool on all three frames. The main frame got it's color from the red I used on the cactus, and the other frame is a dull pink color. After that was all done I moved the frame background around until it created an interesting visual.

This is the background frame.

For making the clock on this poster, I started out with a circle then created some white lines over it so I could space out the numerals that would go on it evenly, then I added chains to it, shrunk it, then lowered the opacity, so it wouldn't be too distracting.
