Final Design Assignment

I actually came out with an idea for my final design and was almost done with it, but when i was in the last tutorial class, my lecturer suggested that i should combine all the sketches into one design. the only problem was, i had about only 24 hours. BUTTTT.... my lecturer said 'why don't you do it??' and i thought. okayyyy fine :)

 

So here it goes!

 

i first scanned all the sketches so i can start painting them using photoshop like below.

 

 After doing it to all the sketches, i created a black background with white wash all over it. then i placed the pictures of the painted children on the background to see which placing look best.

 When i got the position and placing i wanted, i realised, i didn't like the plain background and it didn't really go with my characters. so i decided to paint the remaining places with bright colours.

 Finally, i adjusted some parts of the pictures and used the oil paint filter to create the'oil painting' look.

and. TADAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

here is my final piece :)

I don't know if it was a mistake to combine all the characters together, and i know it doesn't look perfect or professional. There are some mistakes and imperfections here and there, but i'm defintely happy with my artwork. I believe i have used the things i've been taught and what i have learned in my design class. I'm just glad i was given the opportunity to create this artwork to tell people about Child Abuse. I hope when people look at this picture, they will realise that Child Abuse is a horrible thing, and that it will hurt a child inside out. whether it is physical or not, a child will be scarred for life. i just want to give the message that, This should stop.
