For this exercise
I chose two representational images to work from.
The first one, was
produced by Brighton based, illustrator
and felt artist, Karen Rao.
Karen produced
several images used for packaging, by supermarket chain Lidls, for their range
of sweets.
She uses computer
software to generate the images.
Images A and B - Show exercise in scaling up.
Image 1
This is the first
draft I did of the original illustration, with as much detail in it.
It was difficult
to reproduce this image at the larger size, and it took several goes to get the
positioning right, barring a few of the sweets.
Image 2
This version of
the image has had some of the detail taken out, but you can see that these
shapes may be sweets of sorts, but not necessarily midget gems.
Image 3
All of the details
taken out and the image breaks down totally, you are not able to make any sense
of the image, you cannot tell what it is, so therefore you could not make a
simplified version of it.
The second image
is by ,New Jersey based, William Laird, who specializes in Advertising, Book,
Web content, Product and Packaging illustration.
He uses Pencil/Pen
and Ink, Airbrush, Oil Paints and Photoshop to produce his illustrations.
The illustration I
chose doesn’t have a title to it, but I liked it because of its realism, and I
would assume it could have been used for advertising etc.
This image was
more straightforward than the Karen Rao one to illustrate.
Image 1
This image is
actually pretty close in detail to the original, except perhaps a few of the sesame
seeds on the plate might be out of place.
Image 2
I started to take
the detail out, beginning with the sesame seeds on top of the bun, and the
plate, you can still tell what it is, a burger of some sort.
At this point even
without this detail being drawn in, it is more easily recognizable than
the Karen Rao illustration.
Image 3
More detail has
been taken out, but still an identifiable object, in comparison to the Karen
Rao image, which lost any structure to it at this stage.
If you took any
further detail out it would cease to be a burger at all.
