I found this piece of artwork I created successful because it was quite spontaneous. I was just playing around with a line drawing of a castle I created and then thought of different ways to add colour into it. Using a watercolour paints as a base I created a quick background of different sections of colours for the castle to sit in. Then I drew a black fine line castle on top of the background, and finally using the tube of paint as a brush I painted dots of acrylic onto sections of the castle. I like this because it looks quite messy as the paint has not stayed within the lines.
Original drawing..
Scanning the drawing into Photoshop, changing the colours and the scale. Also distorting the image to create more of a quirky style castle...
Scanning the line drawing into Photoshop and playing around with simple, contrasting colours. I really like the line drawing as well as the painted version. I think both of them sit together nicely if they were to be combined on a garment.
I think this linear approach would also look nice as an interior fabric or a wallpaper because it is simple but there is enough detail to attract attention.
