Visual Language Studio Brief 2 Colour, Value and Notan

 Pretty early on for this brief I decided I was going to do a piece based on a tv program and began thumb nailing ideas such as the game of thrones ones. I gradually moved away from this and started to look at mad men as I thought it had a really interesting use of colour due to it being set in the 60's and I did the piece below based on Pete Campbell although I wasn't happy with how it turned out as it felt to much like it was a rushed job. a few days later I saw all the hillsborough memorials and decided to do a piece slightly related to that, and due to Liverpool beating manchester city. I traced the figure quickly to get the proportions and likeness right but I felt that if I didn't I wouldn't have time to get the piece to the standard I wanted and this piece is about the use and composition over technical ability. I'm Really happy with how it's turned out, I used the blue to contrast the red shirt and short, to make them really stand out although i do think the composition does look a little bit empty. colour is something i've always struggled with seen as i'm colour blind but I'm happy with the work I've done for this task.
