I decided to use some of the mono prints that I am not going to hand into my elective and work into them further. I scanned this mono print onto my computer. I changed the levels so that it was much darker, I want to create a feel of autumn and anger with my colours of this image. I placed my other image from before where I drew an owl over a turtle. I removed the turtle and placed the owl so it appeared to be on the branch of the print. I added some colour to a layer between my background and my line work so that the owl stands forwards of the dark background. I then just played about with colours and added some lines to the branches of the tree so that the foreground and background didn't seem to separate.
I am really happy with this image, and although it hasn't all been made in the print room I think it's quite nice to use lots of different processes and gather them all together in photoshop. It seems like a useful middle ground!
The image above is that same as the first image, but I have hidden all line work. I quite like that the image is reliant on just shape (which is something I NEVER do!). I'm not sure if I like it just because I understand that the bright yellow marks are supposed to be staring eyes, it might not be as clear to other people that it is a pissed off owl on a branch where the leaves are falling off.
