Inspired by the latest Planet Earth, I chose to create content that was directly in response to this - using animals, a quite free flowy style that I used; the documentary itself was a huge influence over the beautiful cinematography, stories and animals that were extremely interesting to withhold, and David Attenbouroughs commentary.
I was inspired by watercolour and paint splashes, to create something that was quite hand-designed which is what the workshop was about; looking alongside Pinterest, as well as Sara's examples, I began to drew up what I wanted my idea to visually look like.
Creating the work itself was quite an easy concept, but the majority of my work would be based around the style of graphics I chose to use, I always wanted to use basic drawing and make it complicated digitally. Using Photoshop to place brushes around the drawings I wanted, I imported the layers manually and used after effects to stylise how I wanted to look like.
Originally I wanted this to be savannah colours, but chose a more dark theme based off looking through the title cards for Planet Earth - which was dark, inspired by the shot of space looking upon the earth.
I was so inspired by Planet Earth that I continued this project outside of the allocated time, creating drawings in my sketchbook which I hadn't done in a while. It was nice to create something that was drawn out and was quite relaxing to create something whilst watching the programme I was inspired by. I really loved doing this as it was just applying skills I'd already learnt in my free time, perfecting the stroke tool and pen tool... This was one of the first terms I'd started practiced the pen tool.
Though the outcome wasn't as perfect as I wanted due to time constraint, it would be nice to go back and improve (work on timing and colour etc) though this was a relaxing workshop to work to and something I'd always wanted to created.
