Applied Illustration: Scarlett Letter Refinement

This morning I printed off my digitally drawn pages in cyan with the intention of drawing over the work to give it a hand made feel. This process resulted in great looking line work that feels like it was hand crafted rather than the cold digital line work of before. These images were then scanned in and the cyan removed. Following this I felt a bit lost, I had no idea how to colour my work with a tool that would be quick to use and give an aesthetically appropriate quality. I spoke to Joe S. and he recommended I download a digital brush pack from Kyle T. Wester. This brush pack has a variety of paint like brushes including acrylic and oils. I intended to use the acrylic brushes but found that one of the oil brushes worked so much better! So I decided to use these regardless as it added the aesthetic quality I was looking for.

Using these brushes I also coloured in an additional Scarlett Letter One Sheet. It is common for films and events to have a range of posters before their release so I have acknowledged that here. Additionally, I have made a small range of items that could use this design.
