Front Cover Design

  I scanned the different layers I did with ink into photoshop.

 i then deleted the background by changing the threshold so it was fully black and white. i then used the magic wand tool to select the white background and deleted it.

 i changed the colour for each of the layers. i changed the colour of the leaves to three different shades and the body of the ladybird to red.

 i placed all the layers onto one photoshop and layered and lined them up.

I used the paintbrush to create the splodgey effect. I again used three different shades of green to create interest in the background.

i used a fine paintbrush tool to add the black parts of the lady bird in.

Copy then Emulate 2

I found an image on Pinterest which I liked and then I decided to copy it in ink and edit it on photoshop.

I drew the image out in my sketch book. I pressed heavily so that it was easier to see and be able to paint the ink onto normal paper by tracing.

I used black ink to paint the different colours. I did this by using separate pieces of paper to ink the different colours.

Once they were scanned into Photoshop I did the gradient so they were fully black. I did this because it means i can select it properly so i can change the colour.

When I had done the gradient for all the colour layers, I started changing the colours. I did this by deleting the white background and then selecting the black and filling it with colour. I then moved the layers so they were lined up correctly to create the cat.

For my emulate, I drew the ladybird character out in my book so i had an outline to work from when I used the ink.

I painted the different colours in ink on separate pieces of paper and then I scanned them in. This is the main colour of the ladybird which I did in red.

Once I had scanned them in, I opened them in photoshop and did the threshold and deleted the white background. I did this for the three different colours/parts of the ladybird.

I selected the black and then coloured them to the colours I wanted.

Once I had coloured all the different parts, I put them all on one page. I lined them up and the ladybird was done.
