Artist Copy

For my artist copy, I needed to find a suitable artist, an artist with techniques I could mimic and utilize in my own final piece, I chose a piece of art by 'Adult Swim' called 'Rick and Morty'

After I selected the piece, I drew it out, without tracing so I can have more realistic and stylized strokes and form.

I went over my own design of this over a 'Lightbox' to trace my outline in fineliner, to give it a thicker and more definite line when I place it into Photoshop.

I then placed it into Photoshop, used the 'Threshold' tool to make my work black and white, and removed any marks on my work.

I then used Photoshop to recolour each line to accurately (Using the colour table tool) to make the colour scheme match the original.

I then filled in areas using the colours of the original.

I then lightly went over the colours in a soft black airbrush to give the layers depth and slight texture.
