Final 2D Illustration
Mixed Media Illustration Description
This is my Final Mixed Media Illustration, I have drawn this as a reference from one of my earlier alternate design ideas as shown below.

Media Used:
-Ink
-Pencil
-A3 Paper
-Fine liner Pen
-White Oil Pastel
-Collage
Evaluation
Before I started my A3 Final 2D illustration I first had to do rough measurements of my alternative design idea because I needed to scale it up from A4 to A3 paper for my final piece.
I also considered a design for my background but I ended up decided on a flat pale green colour of background, this is because it highlights some of the detail within the small parts of the mini beast such as the legs, arms, and even wings. I believe the overall design of the 2D illustration was a success, the contrast between the foreground (mini beast) and the pale green background works very well, it separates the darker colours from the vibrante colours fairly well and it shows levels of detail that I was adamant on showing in my final design, for instance, the 'pointy' style of legs/arms, the 'bubbly' feel of skin which is somewhat shown through a contrast in texture between the mini beast and the background.
Another main feature of my 2D Final illustration is that it utilizes a lot of media to really make it all work. I think the White Oil Pastel used in tandem with Ink made a really nice effect on the body. The white leaves the sections of the body visibilly seperate yet joined due to the outline. In addition to this the "bubbles" that dried on top of the oil pastel worked quite well.
The wings are made using a similar resistances technique except they utilise pencil for the thiin outline, water colours for the 'over hang' of the wings and it fades from front to back. These also worked well but I would have liked to fade the blue to white alittle smoother, If i could Improve it that would definitely be something that I should have done better.
However, their are some parts of my final 2D illustration I dislike and would definitely change if I had the time again. For instance, I think I would definitely like to get a blue ink to replace the current black one. In my alternative design idea I used a different ink without realizing but it worked better than in my final illustration. I since tried mixing blue and black ink together, blue water colours and black ink but they didn't work the same, therefore I stuck to the regular black ink. In my opinion my 2D Final Illustration was a success, it has used a range of graphical media and the outcome is very unique to my alternative design.
