Montage It! Poster

Montage It!

I was taught in the lecture that the purpose of photo montage was to make a model come to life. The workshop helped me to be familiar with the process of photo montage and gave me a great motivation in learning how to use Photoshop properly. Most importantly, this workshop introduced me to another way of testing my idea. Instead of plain drawing or modeling, I now know the process of putting my ideas on drawing, materializing them by making models and realizing them to some extent with photo montage.
For the workshop, we were required to chose one artist and design a workshop for this particular artist and use photo montage to make the workshop come to life.
My artist was a fairy-tale writer so I design for him a very small but cozy house in the middle of the forest. Using photo montage, I tried to make the house seem as real as possible, at the same time evoke the sense of fairy-tale like in the way the house interacting with the nature surrounding it.

My first attempt at photo montage

My process in making the night time shot. The process was to add more and more layers in photoshop and then print out the draft photo to and hand drawing layers and then scan the draft back to the computer to continue adding more layers in photosho.

Those are my final submission for Draw it workshop. I choose doing Bangalay House with water color and pen for final submission.

Draw it: Testing different media for rendering

These are samples of two different kinds of rendering I did in preparing for final submission. One was pencil rendering and the other was water color rendering. I used the same perspective drawing of Bangalay house but applied different technique so that I can compare them together to see which media was more suitable for me.

Draw It week 1

In class, we was asked to chose an object and to draw it from all points of view: top, left, right, back (in my case it was a chair) ,... and then we were shown how use projection to draw all of the other drawings from the plan drawing of a simple object
