Development of Ideas

I had a mess about with my textures and drawings and came up with some interesting results! This style is very much inspired by Alexandra Bull who uses textures to fill her animals, trees and landscapes, its such a cool and effective way of filling items in Photoshop and its so easy to do!

The style of these pictures was taught to me by my teacher Jessica Townsend, her work is awesome and an inspiration to me. A piece of her artwork is shown below and as you can see my artwork here has been greatly inspired by the use of textures to fill items. (wood texture for floor, fabrics for clothing and curtains)

This is an easy process on Photoshop, all you have to do is duplicate the original layer and use the magic wand to delete parts of the layer you want and can replace with a texture. As you can see i missed part of the leg in the giraffe edit above, I improved on this in my other photoshop edits by messing about with the levels in Photoshop and making the lines darker and turning the tolerance down on the Magic Wand Tool.
