MADREAL "research paper"


The artist i was assigned is Derrick "MADREAL" Hodgson. A well known Canadian artist that is now residing in toronto.  I have actually heard and been to one of his exhibits in Montreal, before i was assigned to study his style. It is not my style of art but i definitely can say it influences me and my art culture. I enjoy the whole simple drawn characters but yet have the right amount of details by using different pastel colors. 

So the job was to use his style to create my own art work.  
So finally....

here's my rendition.


I started out sketching the characters, and colouring over the lines to have that cartoon look.
Then i took a digital photo of it and placed it on Adobe photoshop to change lighting and brighten up the colours. Added some circles and turn down the opacity  and played with brushes and created my final piece.
