Each blob of color became as its own tiny section as I went over it with the pen tool, and layered many of the shapes on top of each other. This ended up eating up many hours of my time, but it was the least problematic method for me. Sometimes this would result in the loss of slight variations of hues, but I found it wasn’t worth taking the extra time to replicate every single shade of color.
Also, if you intend to switch from working on CC to CS6, remember to save it so it is compatible. You will lose the ability to work with all of your previous layers…
Top notch work! The two are virtually identical and I can tell you've put a ton of work into getting them so. Did you work with the opacity of the shapes in the background to get those brushy textures in the illustrator version?
ReplyDeleteAlso, great color scheme and use of subtle texture in the background.
This is so well done that I had trouble figuring out which was the original. The amount of layering and slight changes in color is impressive. Everything looks very smooth like a digital painting does and not how I would have thought that an Illustrator project would turn out. I'm interested in how you were able to create brush strokes and blending in Illustrator.
ReplyDeleteWow- I seriously can't figure out which one was done in Illustrator. Color me envious- the colors and the jagged shapes really make for a fantastic image that boasts a lot of intensity. How did you manage such organic looking strokes? I myself have a lot of difficulty trying to produce any sort of mark that doesn't look like a horrible pen blob.
ReplyDeleteWow! I can definitely tell that you put a lot of work into these two! I really enjoy your use of colors as well as the amount of textures you were able to emulate from the original to the new one. The accuracy of this assignment was done so well that I'm not really able to tell which one was the original one!
ReplyDeleteThe works look identical. Everything from the color variations to the highlights, look awesome. You did a great job blending in the colors in together.
ReplyDeleteI had to really look at this for a long time to tell the difference. I love the transition to illustrator, its very apparent you spent a lot of time on this. I really cant decide which one I like better, i'm totally dumbfounded at how you even made this happen.
ReplyDeletei think that you did amazingly with this. i can hardly tell which one is the original and which is the remake. i cant really give you any advise because it looks like you pretty much got a hold on it.
ReplyDeleteThis also took me a really long time to tell between the two, and was probably one of the only pieces where I couldn't tell right away which one was the original and which one was Illustrator. You also got the hang of brushy strokes, so it replicated the original much more closely. The Illustrator version is much more detailed and crisper, and I find that do prefer it to the original (though the difference looks almost negligible).
ReplyDeleteThis is really nice. I think you did a great job looking at the nuances of the colors, where they shift, and how to make the difference in those colors blend nicely. One thing I think is great is the cross-hatching texture that yor'e doing to blend colors together. It's also a really great piece to begin with for this project, as it probably was nice to work with some of the original shapes that you had for each of the colors. I'd be really interested in hearing how you got the more misty texture in the inside of the mouth in the background - it almost looks like it's got a bit of a haze in it? Is it the original painting underneath? Or is it a blur technique? I'd love to know! Great job.
