Line drawings

The Cat In The Hat

Children's Book

This Illustration uses Simple red and white block colour on the character 'The cat in the hat'. The artist in this book has used lots of rounded black lines on the character they has used these lines as shading I think this to give the character body a rounded shape but also looks like fur at the same time There is more detail in this image then some other line drawing examples the hat also has black lines I think this is to give the hat shape too also adding shading at the same time. The text is simple and easy to read this is because it's a children's book.  

Vault boy

This is the Vault boy Cartoon Character from Fallout 3.

This character uses block colour only there is not shading what so ever, I think this is so that you focus your attention to the Nuka Cola bottle.

The most detail is in the bottle as it has shading and light reflection detail to give the effect that the bottle is glass and there is still liquid in the bottle. Nuka Cola bottles is a very valuable object in the game I think this shows in the image due to the detail on it. 

Iron Man

Comic Book

This image uses less block colour then some other examples, the artiest has used black lines to give the character shape and shading this image has a lot of detail because of this. The artist has also used A white line around the edge of the character I think this is to give the character a glowing effect. Its also uses yellow star shapes around the character to give it a twinkling effect, also adding to the glowing effect. The black shading on the chest gives definition to the abs.  

Pepper Pig 

TV Show

This image uses only block colours, the block colours isn't bright like some of the other examples it uses almost pastel colours. On the characters the artist has added a small pine stripe line of colour that is brighter then the shade of pigs outfit. There is no shading or light reflection on this image. The artist has used a circle shape in a brighter shade of pink then the skin tone to give the pigs cheeks. The background colour has no gradient ether this could be so that the children keep they're attenuation on the characters as they don't have much detail and if put on top of a busy background will no longer be the focal point of image.




Foster's house of imaginary friends

All the character in the house of imaginary friends uses block colour there is no shading on any of the characters, I think this could be because one of the main characters is blue and he in one colour with a face and hands, so the other characters cant be too detailed and shaded because it may make blue look odd and out of place around detailed shaded characters. Even the people in this image don't have to much detail They have block colour hair Mac (the young boy) has an outline of black around this fringe line, Frankie (the woman in the image) all of her hair is outlines it think this is so it stands out next to the red coloured imaginary friend. Most of the detail in this image is done by black lines, for example the creases on the clothing is done by black lines Mac has to rounded lines on this trousers to give the character shins. Frankie has creases on her arms to give shape to them. 

Pablo Picasso

Picasso Takes ordinary everyday objects paints them in a abstract form.

Underneath is a good example of this, he has painted a candle, a jug and a souse pan. 

These objects are normal quite round, picasso has changed these objects to interoperate triangle shapes.

Andy Warhol
Warhol takes everyday objects or icons and changes the colour scheme 4 different times to make a collage of the item in a different colour form. 

To recreate the style of Andy Warhol I created a new layer in Photoshop, with the paint brush tool I masked over the Dr Pepper lid and bottom, then changed the hue and saturation to an orange colour after doing this I changed the Layer type from normal to colour burn. I then coloured in the rest of the Can with the pen too to select the area I wanted to change the colour then used the fill tool fill the selected area with colour.

Eduardo Paolozzi

Road Signs -
End of dual carriageway -

I thought I would changed this sign to fit the purpose of my games 
This would be a good way to indicate the player there is to different paths they can take 

Left or right 
It would be up to the player to chose what path they would take 

Risks of rocks falling

I used this road sign in one of my game screens to show to players rocks where at risk of falling.
