A Walk to a Waterfall - Page 1 - Traditional Vs Digital - Critique

After working through various digital backgrounds and pencil as previously mentioned, I re-drew Page 1 of A Walk to a Waterfall. Below is the digital alongside the original traditional one:


Adding Self - Working digitally has allowed me to add myself into the pieces in a more detailed and meaningful way, being able to play around with expressions in an easier way.

Colour Scheme - I've gone for a more muted pallet digitally, whilst I love the coloured look of the traditional, I felt adding myself back into the work meant I could play with the emotive visuals in a different way. It will also work better for printing, keeping the colours minimal. I still want to ensure there is a lot of texture in the work, which I'll achieve using previously explored digital pencils and paper backgrounds.

Overall Feel - Overall, I digital version feels perfect for what I'm aiming for. It feels like I've learned a lot through my digital experimentation and captured a final piece that works for me. The time taken compared to the traditional piece is a huge bonus too.
