After watching many episodes of Archer, I managed to churn out four illustrations! After finishing my first drawing the rest came a lot easier to me, which was a big relief. Especially after looking at different images of Bettie Page, getting the proportions right became a lot easier. I was very aware that I need to make sure that I didn't offend anyone, as the article is about body weight and average sizes so didn't want to draw a women too skinny or too large. I know that there's a few people on this course that would have probably done a better job as they've tackled this subject before and I honestly didn't really know what I was doing. But I did like the challenge, as there's no point just to keep doing the same projects just because I feel comfortable doing them. I also think that these are actually not too bad considering, especially as the client was very pleased when I showed her what I had done so far.
So I then scanned them into photoshop so I could colour them in digitally, so I could easily change the colours if the client wasn't happy with what I had created.
But I think I had slightly rushed these, as she asked them to be bright and colourful so I'm not too sure on the colours that I've chosen. But I decided to show her what I had done anyway just to see if her opinion matched mine. As I expected it did, asking for more patterns, pastel colours and bright coloured hairstyles. And this is why I coloured them in photoshop as I found it very easy to then change the colours of my design.
