Post 5: Photoshop (Color)

    Since this was my first time combining traditional and digital media, there was a significant learning curve involved using Photoshop. However, I spent a lot of time studying the artwork of my 3 favorite artists:


     First, I blocked in the basic colors, staying true to the values from the black & white spreads. I then scanned in many different types of textures using watercolor/gouache/acrylic paints (which I will explain in more detail in the next post) and manipulated them using different “Blending Modes”. A lot of experimentation occurred here, including some happy accidents! It was, and still is, an exciting process for me that is continuously evolving.
