Joseph McDermott Recreation

 

In a previous post for my illustration brief I recreated one of Jason Brooks illustrations, my tutors told me that I could use this in my portfolio and suggested I do another recreation so it makes a pair.

 

I decided to recreate one Joseph McDermott's comic illustrations as its a completely different style of illustration and I thought creating the same look would be a challenge and a great new skill to learn.

 



Here is Joseph McDermott's original illustration

 

And here is my recreation, looking back there are a lot of small things I could touch up but from a distance its probably not noticeable, my dots are also a little smaller than the original which is why she looks a little paler in my recreation (that's quite annoying for my eyes!)

 

Not too bad for half a days worth of work!

 

My final sheet to go in my portfolio. I am pretty happy with my second recreation, of course if I had the time or patience I would go back and fix it here and there however those dots are eventually going to do my nut in!

 

But I did learn a new skill and a new piece for my portfolio.

 

Thanks for reading!! What do you think of my recreation? Could it pass for a Joseph McDermott?

My Jason Brooks recreation!

Another illustrator that I recreated was Jason Brooks, I decided to make a separate post for this as this was the recreation I spent the most time on. 

Jason Brooks Original.

My Recreation. 

Here I have put them side by side to compare them both. Looking back there are a lot of adjustments I feel that I could make however I'm quite proud and happy with the outcome. 

This only actually took me a college day to do which is pretty good timing for me.

Thanks for reading! What do you think of this recreation??

Recreating illustrators

From my illustrator research I have sampled their techniques and have recreated one of their illustrations, after this I will create my own illustration using their style, this will eventually help me decide on what style of illustration so use for my boards and help me progress my own style helping me decide which techniques I do and don't like.

Max Gregor recreation:

I quite liked using this technique however I think I should have taken more time drawing the face as I think the eyes look a little goofy and the lips are to upward pointed. 

Bec Winnel recreation:

I finally plucked up the guts to attempt to recreate her work, I'm not sure how this will turn out but I'm hoping for the best!

Stina Persson Recreation:

This time I decided to recreate one of her cut paper techniques, over all I think I did ok, however i think the face looks a bit dodgy! 

Rene Gruau Recreation:

(The head looks a little squashed for the angle I took the picture at) I am quite happy with this creation however the eyebrow is the wrong shape.

Thanks for reading!! 

What do you think of my recreations?
