Project One

So I know I am pretty late on updating my blog for Project One, but I am finished with all the revisions and I think I am finally pleased with my final product.
I didn't want to post Project One until I was done with revising and editing it.

Here is what I showed in class:



After seeing it in class and getting some interesting feedback, I decided to improve the illustration. Here is what it looks like now:




I added a lot of different things in this one. I did two more mushrooms, a small garden gnome, a bird, and motion lines around the bird and fairy. I also blurred the bird and a little of the fairy along with the tops of the small mushrooms so the composition wouldn't look too busy. I ended up just dodging the sitting girl and making her completely white. I drew everything with the pen tool and colored in things with brushes, like the mushroom detail and the fairy. I think this one looks much more finished and put together than the first one.
