Week 10: Tweaks to Final Draft

Before

After 


In the new final draft, I copied the young girl, made her transparent and changed her expression from happy to sad. I also added a small tear. I did this by copying the layer of the girl and moving her to the top of the hill. I also used the bamboo pencil and pad to draw the frown and used the white pointer tool to manipulate the shape and make it even and clean. I did the same thing to the tear as well. I also changed the angle of the gradient in the sky to make the orange portion a bit less steep and to give more space for the dark blue portion of the sky. The last thing I did was create a gradient for the grass to make the color of the grass on the "happy" side a bit brighter but I'm not sure if it's less distracting or not.

I want the viewers eye to first go to the radio thats playing 88.3 then to investigate the young happy girl. The next thing I want the eye to wander to is the young sad girl in the background and the environment that goes with her. Then I would like the viewer to step back and view the piece as a whole.

I want to illustrate that the world with the radio playing 88.3 is a happy fun and bright world. I did this by adding the smile to the girl, the bright color to the illustration, and the aura around the radio by making a couple stars transparent and bright. I also wanted to illustrate that the world with the ordinary radio is dark, dull and unhappy. I did this by giving the girl a frown and a tear. I also did made the sky very dark and heavy looking with ominous clouds lurking overhead.
