| My initial pencil sketch for the illustration. This was my first attempt and I was happy with the likeness and proportions in this image so I just kept with this first attempt for my final. This is because it takes me a lot of time and care to do so once I have a look I like I will just stick with it, likeness in an illustration, that is based on portraits of individuals, is key. |

| Here is a progress shot of once I had started adding watercolour to the work. I focused on the key elements first - the skin tones and hair, as well as the stand out parts in the garments - the fur. I used a fan brush for these strokes and I could have done with a smaller one, but it was helpful to render the effect of fluffy fur. |

| In this pic I have worked into the illustration more using layers of watercolour. At this point I didn't want to over do it, I wanted to keep it clean cut and simple with negative space like the blogging style of TWW. |

| Here is my analogue illustration. I have worked into the watercolour painting with a black fine liner pen, I use this media because I have a lot of control with it and its really fine so I can accurately draw on the details within the image. I also gave the illustration a bit of a border, I did this to make the characters look more bold and intimidating, to stand out and juxtapose the white of the page. |
 |
| This is my final illustration. I adjusted Levels and Colour on Photoshop, I also added some black paintbrush strokes to areas on the top of the trousers and around the coats/jumpers. I think this just helped to make the illustration look bolder and more vibrant. Overall I am really happy with this illustration because I think it has synthesis to the Today We Wore blog and also depicts the two bloggers professionalism well. However if I were to do it again I would probably choose a more colourful illustration to do because they have some really fun shoots that would be really exciting to draw. Such as the photoshoot in their instagram below! |
