Art work title : Peace

Visual treatment:

Art movement : Expressionism

Reference artist : Edvard Munch

Theme chosen : environmentalism

Ideation & Concept : Protect our nature .

This drawing was drawn under the rain in a peaceful night. It comes from the idea of a young girl who loves nature hoping that the beauty of nature will never be destroyed by human's act. I used dark and light colour to show the contrast. Besides, I used heavy lines to separate the tree, human and the road. The blue colour dots was used to represent rain drops. The overall size is proportional to the real world.

How I used photoshop CS5 :

1st step: desaturated the original so it is white and black.

2nd step: I used the W tool to select the leaves part and the bark of tree and used B tool to paint it in Green and brown.

3rd step: I change the size of B tool to draw the tree circle.

4th step: I used the W tool to select the road part and used B tool to paint in grey and I changed the size of brush to draw the line on the road.

5th step: I used W tool to select the body, inner part and upper part of lamp and used B tool to paint it in.

6th step: I repeated using the W tool and B tool to paint the hair, clothes, and the shoes, black, pink purple and pink respectively.

7th steps: Then, I used the B tool and selected the sprinkles form and painted across the artwork to show rain. I used several shades of blue.
