Seoul Brief work

I am currently working on a series of illustrations based on my time in Seoul. I was asked by my tutor at Huddersfield to write a brief for myself and the rest of my classmates based on this work. The brief consists of taking the original black and white illustration and adding animations, colour etc. To do this work we formed various groups within the class and worked collaboratively, each group taking a different time of the day. I will then draw a large version of the black and white illustration on the wall of our studio and we will project each groups animations back over this piece. The images below are the original black and white (although I removed the people, van etc to give to the rest of the groups for the project), then a series of pictures to show the process I used to colour the illustration our group will use:

Original

next step was to colour it up in illustrator

then I decided to do an Oriental Painting, using some of my skills learnt at Kookmin, mainly using (what I believe to be called) the Mol gol method. This method is a style where you “colour the surface.”  I painted this on Traditional Korean Hanji paper that I shipped back from Korea.

I then added the oriental painting to the line drawing, changing the brightness, contrast etc.

The last step was to combine the two (illustrator colouring and the oriental painting).
