These are the explorations from this class period. I am struggling to find a balance between the words and photograph. I like the scratch and hatch marks of the first image because it sort of softens the effect of all of the exposed skin to make it feel less confrontationally naked. I also like the colors of the words because the layers add dimension. And I incorporated those same colors into the body to create some continuity. The second image is just me playing around with the sparkle pen that shimmers. I was trying to figure out how I could invert the colors and make it just glow softly. I ended up experimenting with all of the different settings. It was fun, but not supposed to an actual version. The third version is me trying to manipulate the body with actual colors with editing tools, rather than just focusing on adding words and maintaining a semblance of realism. Coach Hall and I had talked about how drawings and paintings of nudes are generally more accepted than raw photographs, so so wanted to sort of combine these two mediums. I used what I learned about the glowing pen to create the varying line colors and thicknesses. I like the sense of energy and movement, but I don’t like how I attempted to resolve the issue of the words. I’m not really sure where to go from here.
