The Flambouant Peacock - Assignment 3 Using Wacom Drawing Tablet

The assignment required that we use the electronic drawing tablet, use all washes with no solid color fill.  The topic was our choose.

I used the tablet to do the line drawing of the peacock in Illustrator. I then opened up the line drawing in Photoshop. I created the background in two layers. One layer I got used a brush tool that had a water color effect and covered it with purple water color marks. The second background layer I used the gradiant tool and used a seafoam green and dark pink to cover the layer. I made sure that the purple layer was over the to toned layer.

Then I selected the line drawing and locked the layer. I opened up a new layer and coloring the lines with pinks and a feather textured brush.

I think it looks really cool and it has sort of a very amateur Picasso feel to it.
