Digital Media Contest Assignment

My digital media class had a contest for different design categories. This is my raster graphic drawing that I have made for the contest. I thought it would be a good fit for the contest because I used lots of media to create the background, the boy, and other components in the artwork.

I started with drawing out the boy – who’s name is Oliver, by the way – who is fishing. I know nothing about fishing, so I had to do research just for drawing the rod and the box. I was going for a more textured outline, to make it feel more rustic. Then I went on to the lake. After creating a nice enough lake, I added the trees to the background. I duplicated and flipped the trees so they were now laying on the lake as a reflection. I changed the opacity to make them blend into the water a little more. This made the artwork even more accurate, and that was basically my process.
