My scamps

These are my scamps I have thought of and created. It shows off a lot of my subject matter with a range of different ways of showing it in multiple designs.

Photos of subject matter

Drawings of Subject Matter

The drawings below are of my subject matter. It includes multiple different items making up to the idea of the book at what is included. 

Conventions of a book cover

Copy 1

 This is my copy of the 'The Jungle' by Upton Sinclair.

I first drew the outline of the shapes adding shading for the shadows.

After scanning the outline it I then went around it with the lasso tool then filling it with a solid colour. I then added a gradient and inner shadow to try and replicate the real book.

 I then went around the outline of the clouds once again adding a solid colour. I then added a drop shadow to each of the different clouds.

 Then I went around the outline of the font with the lasso tool, once again adding a solid colour to each of the different letters.

Then I went round the font of the artists name adding solid colour after each letter. I also drew the outline of the houses and filled with a solid colour.

I then touched up the edges of the final piece I then added the white buildings over the top once again going around it with lasso tool adding filling with solid colour. Finally I added a gradient to the background similar to the original book cover, shown below.

This is the original image I used to do my copy from.

Propostion

This is my proposition for the book cover I would like to do which is Wolf of Wall street, written by Jordan Bolfort. 

Coloured Scamps

I started by drawing out the basic design in my sketchbook of book covers I found interesting. I tried to add shading to add some tone, then would try to recreate this in Photoshop later. 

I then took the images in my sketchbook and added colour using the lasso tool, also sampling the colours from the original images using the eye dropper  tool. I also added some text to some designs are I tried to replicate the designs closely. But I also tried to keep some of the original drawings from my sketchbook.

This is the finished scamps after being coloured in Photoshop.

These are the book covers that I found interesting and focused my scamp copies on.
