Digital illustration - collage
As a pencil artist, I draw with a graphite pencil and charcoal on paper and sometimes on canvas. Black, white, grey. For my digital illustrations, I can indulge in colour.
A faceless person wearing a (pot) hat is my inspiration. This person always has a coloured (pot) hat on. It is the illustrator's favourite hat.
This illustration is a mixed media, a collage. A person wearing a black coat, a bright pink hat and bright pink trousers, drawn on paper. The background is a photograph of a lotus flower, photographed macro. Half of the background is converted to black and white.
The drawing is digitally converted and then merged with the background on the computer. Because half of the background is converted to black and white, the bright pink colour of the hat and trousers stands out.
A striking background was chosen because the person with the (pot) hat is a simple figure.
