welcome

My name is Ewa. Welcome to my blog. I graduated from Art School in Poland, shortly after that I moved to England. It was 2006 and my life turned upside down, but I have never stopped drawing and being creative. Finally, now is the time to make my dream come true, get an education and learn from the best. Recently I am DMUIC student, my progression route is Graphic Design and Illustration.

Choosing the prospective career path was easy for me as I have always been interested in art. I could not imagine my life without creativity. In my free time I am always drawing, painting or making something for my friends as an original handmade gift. It has always been the most natural and easies way to express myself. My ambitions are to pursue a career where I can utilize my skills and my passion in design and illustration. But most of all I would love to become a concept artist, illustrator or comic artist.
Some of the artists that inspired me over the years include Vincent Van Gogh, Andy Warhol, Zdzisilaw Beksinski. I tried painting in many different styles but recently I fallen in love in Digital Art; drawing in Procreate is such as exploring and discovering very interesting and magical world. My biggest inspiration is Bardot Brush who shows me the world of Procreate, Daniel Wlodarski in terms of Comic Art and Paulina Wach in terms of inspiration of Polish folk.
Paulina Wach is freelancer graphic designer, illustrator and concept artist. She created series "Modern Folking" inspired by folklore of Poland. I love the bride colours and realistic drawing however the most interesting is how she "smuggles" tattoos and modernity into her works.

    Thank you for introducing yourself on the blog. You did not state your progression route and you have not written about an artist or designer that inspires you. Please make sure you add to this post as per the example shown in class.

    Can you please change the font colour from grey to black as it is a little difficult to read with the blue background? Thank you.

Eco Academy Tote Bag mock up

-
Image
 Finally I was bereave  enough to experiment with the Photoshop to create the tote bag for the school. I  started with the mock up picture which I found on the free mock up website, and I downloaded it on the laptop.  After transferring the picture to the Photoshop I used a clone tool to remove the design which was already there, however a few minutes after I have finished designing the bag I learned how to do it in completely different way. I knew I am doing something wrong as it took me to long .    I used the same free background logo which I created earlier in Procreate . I fit it to the tote bag size and I saved the picture in jpg, choosing "file" and " save as"  on the left top corner . I am happy with the results, the picture is sharp in a good quality.

 In my project I will draw illustrations to a short story for children, therefore this research will help me to find information and answer to the big question: " What's make the great children book illustration? "  There is many factors what I need to consider before I will start drawing: - the age group.  - type an style of illustrations suitable for this age group - the book style - how many illustration I will include in my page. - what to avoid in the illustrations for children To decide in what style I will draw the pictures is also very important. Is that will be more cartoony or scary or is the pictures are relevant to the story. For example soft and gentle illustrations would not be perfect for a story about monsters. Go to the library an look at the real children's book is a good place to find the inspirations.  Is important to decide how many illustrations will be included in the book and what type of illustrations they are. That will affect to overal layo...

project plan schedule

During the meeting with the Tutor ,we have discussed everything regarding to my project. I have introduced my ideas and my first sketches to the book. "The magic of the amulet" is a story written by my friend's daughter. There are three main characters - Abby the little girl who lives on the tropical Island with her friends: Olivia the dolphin and Patrick the crab. I already know how they will look like. I need to think how to draw the Island and mermaids. In my head it will be a magical and colorful,  fantasy World.  My first idea was to draw 4 pictures based on the story and to make front and back cover. The Tutor advice was to create two more pages as the story will be more interesting and easier to read for the children. We talk trough every page and I am convinced now that is good idea to draw two additional pages. I will use Procreate and Flipsnack and I will make a mock book  to be able to see how will my book look in real life. I was so excided with this idea , th...
