Creating and Editing PS Brushes

First I did these patterns and explored the different designs and looks.

I then began to do another and I really like the effect of the x's.

I then finished off the sheet and did the patterns and different designs! 

Another finished product.

This is my pattern edited in photoshop. And these inspired me to make the brushes and make good interesting patterns.

6 Photoshop Edits

First I researched a girl in a field until i found the right one for me and to go with the lyrics accurately.-

I then chose this picture for my design.

Then for the two together I researched a beach.

I chose this beach because it looks interesting and full of detail.

Black and White.

Levels.

Light Leaks and Curves.

Hue Saturation.

Layer Mask.

Layer Blending.

Squares for Photoshop Brushes

I did this work at home with paints, fine liner, biro, and pencil. I spend around two hours on the piece and I am very happy with the result of my homework.

Creating Pattern Tile and Final Design

First I scanned in the drawn piece of work. I made the drawings transparent and ungrouped each one and added colour.

Next I put some drawings on the edge of the square to make the pattern more effective. 

Afterwards I then duplicated the pattern piece.

This is the final piece zoomed in a little, and I am very happy with the outcome.

Drawing of Pattern Tile

I first found out what lyrics from the song I wanted to use and they were 'let me be your queen bee'. This then influenced me to draw bees and crowns for imagery, first i researched different pictres on google to draw and then created this page and i thought these turned out quite well.

Pen Portrait Progress and Colour

First I scanned in my drawn piece to edit the drawing in Photoshop.

Theses were all the colours that I used throughout my piece. I went onto Pinterest and chose a picture and collected the swatches off that piece. I then added a few more that I thought was appropriate.

Next I coloured in the lines of the hand. I used different colours throughout but to start off with I used a purple pink shade to outline the pocket watch.

I carried on with the piece adding pattern to certain parts of the drawing to give the piece more of an effect.

Finally to complete my work I made my own diamond pattern colour coordinated to the hand and stamped this directly behind my previous work.

Theses are the layers I had to  create to make my pen portrait,

The completed piece, I am pleased with this as it is my first time creating patterns and adding different colours together in Photoshop to make a creative colourful drawing.

Pen Portrait

For the first drawing i used the lyrics 'diamonds on your timepiece'. We had to do a line drawing with a human feature so i thought about a hand holding a pocket watch to represent a 'timepiece'. Later on in photoshop I used a pattern to incorporate diamonds but for now my drawing was this. I did a hand drawn piece which is the bottom drawing and a copied drawing at the top. Eventually i decided t use my drawn piece as i had more detail like thinner and thicker lines throughout.

Planning the Page Content

First for my song I chose six different lyrics to design and then write them into a lyric book. I the put them in an order and wrote them into this cubed diagram to make a plan of what i am going to do for my book.

Using the lyrics above they then inspired me to write down these drawing types to use throughout the book. I know some of these will change because this is only a plan but this is a rough outline of what my lyric book will look like.

Presentation

For my book I am doing the lyrics out of the song Royals by Lorde. I thought of this song because there are many quotes for imagery.
