Creating the poster

To create the poster I wanted it all drawn on rather than printed, to go with the theme of computer/illustration collaboration. I was going to use the laser cutter to ‘draw’ all the lines and text on using a pen – Unfortuantly I didnt have access to that and couldn’t get it in time as It was a last minute discision.

So I decided to instead transfer all the lines and text and draw them on manual by hand… a time consuming process indeed.

Progression, from transfering, to pen, and finally some light ink rendering to add some depth.

Overall I am quite happy with how it turned out. As horrible as the process was, I am glad that I did all of it by hand. It was interesting to see how everything changed slightly as I interpreted it through the various stages of copying to the final pen layer.
