"Whisper" Poster

Thumbnails - "Whisper"

Both of them are my thumbnails and their topics are "Whisper". When I saw this topic on Illustrator Friday, I came up with those ideas (Don't want to listen, see, and talk and she is trying to make those noise out of her mind).





 
Here is my ideas came from:
 


Poster idea from online image 

This is an image I found online (Google) and my poster's idea came from this image.



Process in Photoshop:



Started to create my "Whisper" poster in Photoshop 

I placed one of my thumbnails in Photoshop to start my poster.



 Created lines on thumbnail 

I added more details in this stage to create my lines' "drawing".



Created lines on rough sketch 

I changed something on my original idea when I was creating my poster during the "line drawing" stage.



Ready for coloring 

Finished lines work.

 

Started to coloring

 I used the similar colors for my poster's background and the girl.



Added more details 

I used different values to create the shadow on her hair, skin, and clothes.



Created the background 

I changed my background color from yellow to brown because I want to make the girl stand-out. Also, I used the curves to instead of text on the background.



My final stage 

This is my "Whisper" poster. ^U^

Wings and Freedom

Those are my thumbnails about "wings". When I saw this topic on Illustrator Friday, I came up with those ideas which relate to "freedom".




 "Wings" Thumbnails 

When I see wings or birds, those words always relate to freedom in my mind.



Here is my ideas came from:


   

Chukar Partridge - flight lab

This image is from the magazine - National Geographic.




Single wing of bird (Cock-of-the-rock)

Cock-of-the-rock is South American category's bird. This image also is from the magazine - National Geographic.


   
 
A bird in the cage

 I search this image online and it inspired me. When I saw this image, I came up an idea about bird cage.



Process in Photoshop:
 

 

First step to create my poster

I chose one of my thumbnails and placed it in to Photoshop. This thumbnail expresses a stronger concept toward the topic.


 

Start working on the bird and cage 

In this step, I downloaded a bird cage's image and used pen tool to make a new path for the bird cage. Also, I color it using black. Then, I deleted the original bird cage and used pen tool and layer mask to work on the bird. I used brush tool to create the black edge around the bird to make it more stand out.


 

Making feathers

 I used pan tool and layer mask to make the feathers in every single piece. Also, I used brush tool and layer effect to make the shadow under each row of feather.



The other side of wing

 In this step, I use pen tool to create the wing in the other side. I did not put a lot of details on it because it is behind the front wing. Also, I used brush tool to create a pick background for my poster.




Working on feathers 

In the last step, I created several feathers around it because I wanted to show that it's freedom is taking away.


 

Final poster 

This is my poster "Wings and Freedom". ^U^
