Final Illustration For the Regeneration Of Poole



Original Drawing in Pen. I wanted to portray that the modern building was towering over the little fishing boat and stuff. yeah.
I like the drawing and think that the quality of line used through is very good and the composition of the two elements really gets the message across.



Painted Version. Colour palette chosen to show seaside town but greys on the left to show the dullness of the modern buildings etc.
A definite improvement on the drawing i'd say, the colour really makes the building interesting and the red of the boat stands out massively against all the blue.




Digital Version.
I don't like this piece very much. I think the colour palette has been far too simplified and the boat sinks into the background in blue.




Final Illustration. Mix of the two.
Overall I think that this is the best version, it still maintains the qualities of the painting but brings in sharper lines to the building which i think makes it far more structural. The green of the boat is in better keeping with the colour scheme than the red was but still manages to pop out of the image due to contrast.

The feedback from the first crit was good, however after a tutorial with Sally she suggested that i stick to doing my own style of illustration that i find natural rather than trying to push myself out this way, as it basically doesn't look as good. New illustration on it's way perhaps.
