Decided to take a break from the art forums while I was on break and get some free time in for myself since I usually don't have alot of time to unwind during the week.
Manily worked on completing the poster from my last update during the 2 week period, I was hoping to get some paitning in but the poster took longer than I expected so didn't get the chance in the end so I'm going to spend some time this month working on my painting skills.
Poster
Here's the final sketch that I posted last time.
I transfered the drawing to some bristol board and worked out my light and dark areas for inking in pencil first. I tried inking the poster traditionally with the plan to scan it into photoshop and colour it but I was really hating how my inking of the piece was going. It just looked really sloppy to me so in the end I decided to just ink over my finished pencil drawing in photoshop and then work out my colours.
Finished Pencil Drawing
Finished Poster
Settled on a 4 colour screen print to keep it simple.
Here's how the poster turned out in the end. I kept refering to posters by artists that I liked to help with the colours and linework (manily Martin Ansin's work) and kept it rather simple since I don't really know they do all those crazy effects digitally for screen printing. Tbh I'm not 100% sure what I did can be screen printed, I was foloowing a guide for creating digital artwork for the intention of screen printing but unless I actually try and screen print it myself I can't say for certainty. I plan on emailing abunch of artists and potentially screen printing studios and see if they can helpt me at all with all the know how.
Here are the colours seperated into their own layers
Finally the same layers with registration makrs ready to be transferred to a screen
Overall I'm happy that I was finally able to complete a finished piece of art. There's definitely alot to improve on but that will come with time.

Final H/W's for both classes
Erk Week 10
Brian Week 10
Had a very bad week with this one. Same with the Yoni drawing for week 8 I've been experiencing weeks where I seem to regress in skill and struggle with something that I shouldn't have an issue with. Not sure if it was is just burn out or due to trying a different approach?
