Doctor Characters, 2021
Digital Piece
21cm x 29.7cm

I have created an A4 digital piece of work using Adobe Photoshop. I really enjoyed creating the Nurse characters and decided to create a characters based on healthcare workers. I labeled the pieces 'Doctors' and 'Nurses' for now but I may change the name as I have created various healthcare characters and I believe that both genders can obtain these jobs however, I used 'Doctors' and Nurses' to summarize the general subject area in which I've illustrated. Once again, I created the characters traditionally using graphite pencils and then decided to use Adobe Photoshop to give the characters more of a finalized look to the piece of work. I have created five male healthcare workers including; Doctor, Nurse, Squint/trainee doctor and a surgeon. I really enjoyed using colour to give personalities to these characters such as the timid squint. I decided to give him a shirt and tie but no blazer to represent that he is younger and not as formally dressed as the doctors. My favourite character is the surgeon, I love his pastel green scrubs and I love his wild grey curls that compliments his deep, rich skin-tone. I think that the four male characters fit really well together and the colour scheme is mostly cool tones which represents the seriousness of the healthcare workers. I decided to create a simplistic background, using lighter tones typically used in a hospital setting. I used the rectangle tool on Adobe Photoshop to create the flooring and I think it works really well with the characters. I am really enjoying my experimentation with Adobe Photoshop as I am able to create finalized pieces faster and make adjustments to my illustrations with ease. Overall, I think that the digital piece works really well as a standalone piece and with the nurses characters. I like the combination of colours and I like the range in characters from different ages to race or ethnicity. This is to showcase the important role that healthcare workers have during COVID 19 and the hardwork they are doing to help vulnerable people during our current society.

Task 1 - Benevolent Boy

  Task 1 - Benevolent Boy Correy Taylor  Benevolent Boy , 2020 Watercolours on paper 21cm x 29.7cm During one of my first Illustration lessons, I was given the task to illustrate the word 'Benevolent'. The definition of Benevolent is someone who is kind and warm-hearted. My initial idea was to create a portrait that showcases a benevolent person. I experimented with drawing portraits from life and from secondary resources including my attempt of the 100 Portraits challenge, that really improved my confidence in drawing portraits and the challenge allowed me to overcome my fear of portraiture. During my third year of university, I would like to experiment with different aspects of illustration, allowing me to overcome my personal boundaries and therefore inform my practise. This includes the use of various mediums, techniques and art styles. For Task 1, I decided to transform a sketch that I had created in the 100 Portraits Challenge. I really liked the original sketch that was...

Cream, Caramel and Mocha

  3 Portraits Correy Taylor Cream, Caramel & Mocha, 2021 Digital piece 29.7cm x 21cm I have created an A4 digital piece using Adobe Photoshop. I wanted to improve upon my favourite sketches that I created for the 100 Portraits Challenge, as I wanted to experiment with creating portraiture using a digital medium. I have been trying to experiment with Photoshop as I think that it allows me to create work that is faster paced and creates a more finalized piece of work. I decided that I wanted to sort of collage the three portraits together in one piece of work. I wanted to create a piece of work that not only celebrates women of different race and ethnic backgrounds but to represent the sort of topics that I like to illustrate within my practise. As a woman myself, I feel passionate about discussing issues that aren't widely talked about such as; trauma experienced in childbirth, Female Genital Mutilation, Gender Inequality, Sexual Assault and Harassment in Hollywood and many othe...
