Finalised Alligator Illustrations!

I have finally finished my illustration for the picture book, I took the same image and applied different emotions that I could use in my finalised book. What I like most about this design is the use of the gradient and colours. I really makes the character stand out. I also feel like this illustration is very flexible and will allow me to create different emotions and hopefully will be able to recreate different characters, like a whole family of alligators. I have also decided to keep the grain effect for this as I felt it really does create a really nice texture to my overall design and will allow me to keep my supporting graphics. ALLIGATOR EMOTIONS-05

Realist Drawings.

In helping me finalise my Alligator I did some realist drawings just to break away from the completely animated and fictional and take on a different perspective to widen my knowledge of the proportions of an alligator and the toning. Scan 160930001-3 Scan 160930001-2 Scan 160930001-1

 

Doing this I have been able to take away key features of an alligator that I will have to remember when it comes to creating my illustrator, and that is the teeth, curved tale and some sort of shading. After doing these realist drawings I then started drawing a more fictional version, giving my alligator a bit of character:

I have added elements of previous illustration examples to help me creating something that works well, I will put this into illustrator and will play around with different features and colour.
