Artist experimentation

This is my experimentation after looking at Billie Jean. I wanted to create a sketch illustration like his, but with my own objects found in the classroom. Then seeing Keith Harring's work I though it would be nice to add his people in the background of the illustration.

This is my illustration scanned in a live traced on illustrator.

I reversed the black and white And started to colour some blocks and outlines.

I then added scribbles to objects by using a graphics tablet.

This is my final outcome. I think it reflects the 80's well because of the colours and some of the design. If I would do it again I would add the people on in a separate layer. I think I might use Keith Harring's idea of the people fitting into each other in the background.

My next experimentation is after looking at Paulo canabarrow, I wanted to try and create someone thing simular, but adding what I learnt from researching jasper Goodall and Katherine hamnet.

This is the gradient background I did. I chose these colours because I thought it would reflect the 80's better. 

I then made a peace sign like the illustration I was going to copy. But I made it a green that would compliment the background.

I then added a silhouette like jasper goodalls illustrations. I made it got pink to it fitted in with the theme and stood out. 

I saw that jasper adds some random shaped to his work, so I decided to add 80's themed objects to the illustration.

Being inspired by kathering hamnet I added type over the top. So it sends a message and it's still 80's. 

This is what my final outcome is. I think this went well because it looks like and 80's illustration and it's very neat. I enjoyed doing this.
