Hi Sue, Thanks for your nice comment. This job was a bit of a rush to say the least. I only had 8 days to do 4 pages, so I had little time to think of ways to improve the workflow.
I Created the models of the children and the props, (the pencil was 'actual size' and made out of plasticine). I posed the characters with 'placeholders' for the pencil and scissors, and in Photoshop, superimposed scaled down versions of the props in their place .
Hi, Chris,i think these are great and loved to hear how you went about making the scene with all the different props. You must have a great deal of patience!
Cheers Brett:¬) I guess it can get frustraing sometimes. I usually work at actual size to the printed image, so things like fingers can be pretty fiddly. And occasionally a head plops off and falls into a character's lap as the camera shutter clicks:¬(
We thought we would try having a GCI Artists blog and have our own exclusive artists' community. All GCI artists are welcome to join in and add pieces of artwork for peer review or discuss illustration problems and solutions etc. Obviously we'll need to see how it develops and whether its purpose needs refining but I guess until we start using it we won't know what we want from it. This blog is visible to everyone who visits the GCI website so you may wish to bear that in mind. So over to you ladies and gentlemen...
This blog is open to all GCI artists so if you would like to contribute or need any assistance using this blog, please contact Duncan who will do his best to get you up and running.
