Experiments

Brendan-Storr

Process

• Firstly, I basically got a piece of paper and began drawing. I used rubbers to rub away mistakes, rulers to make the panels and used a pencil for the drawing process. I then used a black pen for drawing within the pencil lines to make them stand out. Photoshop was used for colouring, which will be explored with in a different drawing in the next slide.

Process• Continued from slide 2. After using a

scanner to place the drawing on a computer, I then placed it on a Photoshop document. I used the ‘quick selection tool’ to select a part of the drawing for colouring. Instead of using a brush tool like I did with my other drawings in this course, I used a paint bucket tool for the colouring process. I found it less time consuming and more effective, even for over parts of the drawing that doesn’t need a quick selection tool usage. For the speech bubble seen here, I used the shape tool to make it. There is a ‘custom shape’ section that lets you find various shapes to use and there was a selection of speech bubbles and thought bubbles to choose from. After making the speech bubble white and the lines black, like a traditional speech bubble, I placed text over it, which was a tricky thing to do, when you try and make it fit.

Reflection

• What elements of your experiments will you include in your final product?– Photoshop colouring.– Custom shape tool.– Pencils, rubbers and rulers.– Paint bucket tool.– See if I can get a black felt tip pen for much bolder

lines.
