Assignment

Your prompt is 'Fall'

  • Use the techniques introduced & reinforced in class to create one composited colored illustration.
  • You will upload one photoshop file (and any related working files, scans, etc...) for class next week.
  • You must draw at least 3 elements of your drawing using traditional methods (paper, scan, prepare in Photoshop), you can also draw digitally on your iPad and polish/color in Photoshop.

Your assignment is to draw at least 4 or 5 foreground items and 1 background, then use multiple copies of the same items to create an amazing 'Fall' image.

Note: I will be looking for epic smart objects, layer effects, and clipping mask skills!

Process

  • Draw no less than 5 separate parts/pieces which will be assembled into one composition.
  • At least one part/piece should be a "background"
  • Scan and prep each part/piece as independent grouped items or Smart Objects.
  • Bring all the parts/pieces that you wish to use into one file, compose an illustration.
  • You can scale, rotate, recolor, duplicate your parts/pieces, you can use any variation or Photoshop techniques you wish.
  • You should be using groups and or Smart Objects within Photoshop.

Bring upload for class next week

  • One LAYERED photoshop file and any related working files, scans, etc...
  • Compositions should be 5"x 5"
  1. I would suggest scanning at (at least) 1200 ppi, then working at 1200 ppi & coloring that.
  2. I have created a new Google Drive directory for this project: svaMFAI_20211018-homework-Fall-Smart-Objects
