My weekly goal

My goal for this week is to scan my sketch into the computer and to get it roughly outlined in photoshop in black, without the detail.

Proposal

I plan to complete my project by may 21st, with a final photoshop jpeg completed. I plan to sketch out my scene first without any shading or too much detail, then to upload it to photoshop and put in the shading and majority of the detail. I plan for it to be a tall abandoned city with a person on a hill, and for that person to maybe be the only thing in color, representing that one person can change the world and just show the world in a very different way.
In this image i see an abandoned camp or town, the image is all in black and white, theres hills and in the corner there is a zombie. The artist is trying to convey this feeling of emptiness and abandondment even though there is plenty of buildings. The black and white really adds to the mood the artist is portraying, with the whole zombie and empty town. Im not really sure what influenced this art in the artists surroundings. The zombie and post apocalyptic theme is really big right now with movies and tv shows, games, and even comics. The art was created in this type of art style because its simple with its detail but the way its shaded is very complex, and the simplicity of the black and white creates this feeling that just fits the theme perfectly. The artwork like this contributes to the community that enjoys seeing and watching the zombie artwork, there is a large community and support group for that. Im sure that they have the same kind of community for this art work somewhere in the uk and in many other countries. The piece is similar to what im going to do because im going to have a similar scene with a larger city and keep this art style, the viewpoint will be behind a person like this one. Im not going to involve zombies in my project.
