this piece most likely started as just a photo, this then was manipulated in photoshop using filters and other tools. this piece contains no stroke or lines to seperate the different pieces of the composition. this piece is very smooth but it has to be smooth to make the image look realistic to the audience. this piece makes great use of tone too add depth to the facial area, this depth makes the main facial features stand out. the colour on the glasses are brighter than the rest of the composition almost making the them the focal point of this piece.



in my opinion i think this piece relates to romaniticism. Romanticism is a complex artistic, literary and intellectual movement that origonated in the first half of the 18th centuary in western europe.

in order to create the basis for this compostion the artist has first created a sketch of the piece desired to be digitised. This sketch has then placed into a vector formatted piece of software such as illustrator. In order to fully digitise this piece some pen tooling is required to trace the outline of the objects within the piece. the said objects are then required to be filled with swatches from the colour pallete and tranparency set to a medium translucentcy. The sketch layer is then set to hidden and you are left with the basic shapes and outlines to the composition, the artist has made it essential to have a stroke on evey item giving them depth allowing the audience to distinguish one item from another.

To add more depth the artist makes good use of the filters availible by adding a gausien blur to the newly created flames layer, this gives the layer a stlyised feel. Adding contrasting tones and abstract shapes invites more complexity to the composition adding even further depth and intrest to the piece, furthermore the artist is applying said effects to the background but also the fore ground to intensify the depth further. the artist has decided to make use of the polygon tool for the desired sky feel, this is then complimented by yet another gaussien blur to add more depth. To further arouse the intrest of the audience the atist has added drama to the skyline of this composition by taking advantage of the twirl option in the liquify tool.

To make the skyline less dramatic but still noticable the artist has decided to set the blening mode of the the layer to multiply adding an almost silhouetted feel to the skyline. In order to continue with the theme of adding contrast and depth to the composition the artist has added white highlights to make the liquid more glossy and fluid. the artist has now moved on to model the wings and bottles in the composition in the process of this, the artist has incorporated custom brush strokes creating texture and more intrest in this area of the composition. The artist has now focused his attention to producing the bottles along the way the artist has added dark and medium tones to the wings and bottles as he saw fit. Now, the composition is nerly compleat but to add further reralism to the bottle in the foreground the artist has added a transparent purple fill in a desired area of the bottle creating the look of liquid within the bottle.

Finally to finnish the artist turns to producing the skull heads attached to the bottles. Adding highlights to the object takes a considerable amount of collaberation due to the direction you wish for the ligh to fall. To compliment the highlights,the artist has added complimentary transparent fills within the viscinity of the highlights.
