Research 23/3 (One on Ones)

Started with some digital colour palette tests for bright, pale and dark in Corel and Photoshop. Corel definitely has the textures of real painting whereas photoshop only had one of the 3 brushes and I had to experiment/use the closest i could find for the acrylic and watercolour. Still waiting for the actual oil paint to dry before I can take some test photos, I regret putting it off due to proposal work now but will just have to catch up.




After starting work on my animation, I have come to realise that it probably isnt possible to paint the background the way I want. I could be wrong but I wont know until later on down the track which is too late for this project so, I have decided to stick to creating a painterly style for my comic backgrounds. I will still do a landscape type image for this project, mainly because I feel that there is more freedom in creating an image that isnt already locked into a particular mood, like my comic panels and I think this will result in a better final product for this class while still giving me a chance to experiment with/learn the technique of matte painting.
