Emulation


Firstly I drew the outline of my emulation using pencil, and once I was happy with it I went over the outlines in fine liner.











































Then using a light box and placing another piece of paper on top of the outlined piece, I coloured the page using watercolour paint, following the guidelines on the page underneath.


I then placed the outlined fine liner piece into photoshop, and editing it to be threshold (black and white only). 



































Once I had done this, using the magic wand tool, I selected and deleted the white.











































Then I placed the coloured piece into photoshop. I placed this layer underneath the fine liner layer so that the colour showed through the deleted white sections, leaving the black outline sitting on top of the coloured page.










































Next was to edit the colours. I used 'Command U' to bring up the editing of the hue, saturation and lightness.


Some of the colours were more vibrant than others, therefore needed to be edited separately. I selected each section using the quick selection tool, then again using 'Command U' to edit the colours.


































I did this again to edit the hair... a more saturated yellow with a slight cooler hue.



































Also I did this to edit the sky, making it darker more saturated and again a slightly cooler hue.


































I did this until I was happy with the outcome of the colour....









































... and my emulation was complete
