Emulation

To start with, I used the same method which I used to do the copy. I started off by traditionally drawing my ideas.

Using the pen tool I inked round the lines I had drew, and using a compound path setting I 'inked' in the gaps between the two separate lines.

I then put the base colour on and arranged it so that it sat below the line layer.

After arranging the base colour, I then added some shading and did some colour alteration.

 After adding a back ground colour I thought that the eye sockets looked a little bare, and would be improved with something in the middle.

These are the final emulations. I really like how they turned out as they combine cute and gory, and with the use of vectoring have a really nice smooth finish. I definitely think I will be doing my final piece in this medium.

 I really like the red heart on the green background. As red and green are complimentary colours, I feel that the contrast creates a cool edge to the image.
