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 2 - Women. Time. Health. Correy Taylor Women. Time. Health. 2020 Watercolours on paper 21cm x 29.8cm During one of my illustration classes, I was given the task to list three key words that best describe my interests and ideas for my Graduate Portfolio module. For my third year studying Illustration, I want to create work that illustrates more interesting concepts and drawing styles to improve upon my practise. For task 2, I decided that I wanted to explore women's health in a new and exciting way. I am really passionate about illustrating women's issues within my practise and I believe that as an illustrator it is my duty to give a voice to those who want to discuss controversial topics, that aren't widely talked about in the media, but feel embarrassed or it's not their place. I am often inspired by medical research into the different discomforts and ailments that women experience during their lifetime. My initial ideas for task 2, was to create a piece of work...

  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...
