My feedback from the Uganda Maternal Healthcare illustrations. I have a few adjustments to make this week...
'Thank you so much for this great work. am in love with them already. just a few suggestions. is it possible to increase the visibility of pregnancy in Alice's work that is, make the tummy more protruding. and also make the garden green in the scene where the woman is feeling dizzy while digging. another edit is to improve the visibility of the blood patch on the woman's dress while she is in the market may be she can wear another white dress where the patch can come out well. otherwise its tremendous work. really great. and can Eleanor make the pregnancy visible too? wow, the work is great. cant stop looking. thank you people soooo much.'
IMPROVEMENTS
I did these improvements for her and sent them off, however I actually was really unhappy with the visuals, particularly the backgrounds, of the illustrations. I decided to take a bit of time to try and adjust them slightly to fix this issue for myself. I didn't like the smoothness and faded nature of the background - it wasn't how I create work usually, and it didn't seem to reflect the culture nor the art of Africa.
I decided to add some brighter, bolder colours and some more textured brushes to the backgrounds. This really helped me to be happy with my final resolutions. This reminds me how important analogue techniques (even if rendered digitally with brush tools) and colour is to my work!
