Design an appropriate habitat/environment for your marine life using ORGANIC shapes.
Be sure to keep the animal and environment on separate layers, as we will later be sharing the parts with one another in an animation project.
***DESIGN the page***
- Consider Movement, Depth, Texture, Color
- In the image above, note the differences in color and shape between the animal and environment.
Reference/Resource:
For ideas and inspiration, watch "My Octopus Teacher" on Netflix.
Reminders:
- Textures: Use high-resolution, royalty-free images from stock photo sites.
- Continue to imagine a light source from ABOVE.
Objectives:
- Strong design
- Organic v. Geometric Shapes
- Repetition
- Color Unity
- Depth
- Texture
- Gradients, highlights, and shadows to create sense of light source
Tools you must use:
- Pen Tool (Illustrator)
- Paste Into
- Blending Modes
- Gradients
- Image Adjustments (Color Balance, Hue/Saturation)
If working in Photopea or Photoshop for iPad:
In Photopea and Photoshop for iPad, there is no Paste Into. Textures must be put on a layer UNDERNEATH the drawing, then cut to fit the triangles.
