SI 12
Materials: I used photoshop once again with this piece. The subject is a boxer. Processes: I took the subject and after experimenting with a type of tunnel idea, decided to do a simpler idea. I took out the rest of his body and just used his bust and made multiple layers getting bigger and smaller by adjusting the scale and setting a gradient map. I then used the brush tool to create manual outlines. Ideas: The main idea of this piece is that most of the things athletes do are unfairly blown up and judged to where the story of what they did can be far from what actually happened.
SI # 13
Materials: Photoshop 2021 Processes: I took the background of a basketball game, switched it to black and white, added lines on the side to frame the central part, which includes two circles and one to create space between the players and the fans, I then used the dissolve brush to darken both circles and added two sets of the same players to the middle. Ideas: The idea is that with these two sets of players, one being sad and one being happy, that these emotions are not drawn from what happens in the stands, but what happens in the field.

Pretty rudimentary but better than nothing!
ReplyDeleteLook at your pinterest board once you join for ideas on how to emphasize the eye. The sky is the limit. If you want to keep the digitized background like your first, you might do something with the design that looks like tears?
Here is the creative commons site. Must change the photo in 3 significant ways if you use one. Also make sure you download the largest size:

Next time: Add materials processes and ideas and write ideas on the photo or in your sketchbook: notes about how to emphasize tears? etc. Use line? etc.
You can't have too much information! color choices, research from another artist, etc. that is what makes a Process photo an SI piece.
