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:
Jamey Christoph http://www.workbook.com/portfolios/christoph
Jon Klassen http://jonklassen.tumblr.com/
Kenard Pak http://www.pandagun.com/
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.
