The Final Poster :



Last week, I finished the essential background of the poster and coloured it for the person I have chosen to draw. Therefore, I focused on the background, like drawing the stars of the universe this week.


 

The Process ( New Update Vision ):

 

Step 1 :









Using the pencil to sketch out the draft of the poster, like the format of the poster, background, portrait, etc.


 

Step 2 :














I used watercolour to paint the background of the portrait, and draw elements which are ( my cousin )Katie's favourites, like using purple, blue, and green to draw the universe, creating some mini planets, moon, etc.

Also, if you look at more details, you will discover that I designed a special frame, in which I have combined the ocean & water elements inside, like the shape and line of the water droplets and waves.


 

Step 3 :










I started to use black & dark brown watercolours to draw the hair, and paint the light orange colour of the face. Also, I used some colourful markers to draw the patterns, and lines of the planets & galaxies.


 

Step 4 :






Using the marker scratched out the outline, like the features of the face, hair, etc. Also, I used the same hair colour to draw the eyes-browns, light brown colour to draw the shadows of the neck & nose and the same face colour to paint the neck


 

Step 5 :




I used black and dark brown watercolours to draw the eyes and used red watercolours to paint the mouth. Also, I used the White-out to draw the reflective light of the eyes. Also, use green and grey-green colours to paint the cloth.


 

Step 6 :



Need to wait for a while to let it dry


 

Step 7 :



I used colour markers to draw the stars.


 

Step 8 :




I cut off the stars from the paper and filled in the colour again.


 

Step 9 :



I stuck the stars on the drawing and then finished.


 

The Image Board :



I used my cousin's selfies as a reference for my poster.


 

Introduction of the image's person :


The person in these images is my cousin, but also my bestie. She is the one who also has an essential role in my life. We grew up together and studied in the same school in Hong Kong. Every time both of us have any secrets or something that we aren't willing to tell our parents, we will talk with each other privately.


We will help each other think about the solution or express our thoughts. We are closely such twins. We will play, share and celebrate birthdays with each other.


Even though I am studying abroad now, we still keep in contact, like we will have a video call or phone call with each other, caring about our recent status. Therefore, she is not only important but also necessary to me.


 

Her Information:

  • Name: Fang Kai Ki

  • Nick Name: Katie

  • Born in Hong Kong

  • A student

  • Her dream career: Doctor

  • My cousin, Best friend

  • Always give me different advice on my artwork

  • Reason: She wants to help more patients


 

The Mind Map of the person that I choose to draw :

My Short Reflection :


After doing my poster, I need to improve and control the intensity of the watercolour carefully and improve my techniques of using watercolour, like choosing colours, blending, etc. I hope that I could make more of a difference or try more challenges in my future artworks.
