Making my final Vignettes

On A2 watercolour paper I started drawing and painting my design for one of the Vignettes however, halfway through drawing the final Vignette design I realised I didn't like that it wasn't looking as polished as I would have liked it to be so I decided to redraw it on my Ipad instead. The reason I changed the format of my final design was mainly because I wanted more precision in the vignette. And I thought that out lining the watercolour with a fine-liner took away from the drawing. 

Halfway through drawing it on my ipad, I noticed a significant change in the clarity- looking cleaner. I found that this started to look how I wanted Mary Anning to appear and it definitely seems be a character in a book. Although I changed my drawing format to be digitally I still used the outline of the original drawing on the A2 paper as my starting point. This was because I did like the proportions and the angle, it was mainly the mistakes I made on the A2 paper which made me loose confidence in using only traditional media. During the process of the final vignette on my Ipad I realised I didn't prefer using a rectangular shape for my vignette as it look unfinished and basic. So last minute I changed it to be circular, which made it look more professional. 

The Final Outcome

Overall, I think this Vignette looks scenic and calming like a beach. The colours I used are warm and enticing. The final design for Anning looks kind and the way the wind is blowing in her hairs adds to the calming nature of this setting. Anning also looks incredibly focused on looking for fossils. I think that doing this Vignette digitally also helps tie in the animation with the folded format. The circle shape that edges off the drawing is effective. and using splatter of white around the edge focuses the audiences attention on to the main image. However, if I was to do this again I would make the dog's outline less harsh and make him look more realistic.
