shark. mark 3!!!!!!

Another one guysss!! yep the one in my previous post wasnt good enough for me so i had to do another one :) hope you like it its inspired by kurt schwitters collages...
for this image i scanned in scrunched up lined paper which i flattened out before scanning and an image of a tonal fish drawing i had done in another class.
i lay the lined paper in my first layer then created a box over the top, i made this box blue and softened the transparency so the lined paper became clear enough to see through.
i placed my fish image on top after live sketching it, and for the brush strokes i changed the type of brush stroke in the settings in illustrator and free handed some wavy lines to look like sea weed.

shark. mark 2

i have created another fish collage to back up my other one in this one i got my scanned fish image and edited it so it was just a black outline then Googled blood splatters put this behind the fish outline and also put the word shark in and made the transparency 25% so it gave it a subtle feel.

our theme produce

These images are from my typography lesson here are images on a few different types of font and typography images an different styles using layers and different effects...

octopus hair!!

i was that happy with the outcome of 'fish hair' that i decided to do another one. looking at andrew banneckers images i found another one to work on i did this image based on an octopus here is the final image below and andrew banneckers version below that image.

andrew bannecker!

i love andrew banneckers work here are a few images that i liked, i found them on google...








fish drawings created inside and outside of college :)

here are a few drawings i have created in college of fish... the image directly below is a tonal drawing of a fish
the next image is a coloured pencil study of a crab and below that image is an ink study of the same crab

the next image is the ink image again only this time it is a photocopy, as you can see it doesnt look anything like the one above, this is because when it was photocopied it was moved along the scanner to create an abstract effect.

The Shark

 GREAT! forgot my memory stick -.- (<<my not so impressed face) but I managed to produce a pretty nice image without it. I scanned in an image of a fish drawing i had done weeks before in another lesson and because of the tone i thought it would be good if i played around with the live trace, a list came up and i chose ink sketch, this left me with a back sketchy outline which i found quite effective. i put a background of a coral reef behind the fish, i wanted to portray a message that fish scales are shiny and reflect the sea and everything in. To make the image more subtle i found a poem on Google, this poem is about a shark which i thought went with my image very well as my fish image is a lot larger than the scale of things in the background this shows a shark oversees anything in the ocean and is top of the food chain. I copy and pasted it into another layer of my fish image, to keep the image interesting i changed the font, font sizes and also the transparency, i then copy and pasted it a few times and over lapped the poem together so you could only see part of the poem so it gave you a subtle idea what the poem was about below is my image i created and below that is also the poem i used in my image.


 

A treacherous monster is the Shark
He never makes the least remark.

And when he sees you on the sand,
He doesn't seem to want to land.

He watches you take off your clothes,
And not the least excitement shows.

His eyes do not grow bright or roll,
He has astonishing self-control.

He waits till you are quite undressed,
And seems to take no interest.

And when towards the sea you leap,
He looks as if he were asleep.

But when you once get in his range,
His whole demeanor seems to change.

He throws his body right about,
And his true character comes out.

It's no use crying or appealing,
He seems to lose all decent feeling.

After this warning you will wish
To keep clear of this treacherous fish.

His back is black, his stomach white,
He has a very dangerous bite.
