Skull, Zoe Jackson

 

Here is an edited close up of the A2 poster I created from the images I had created at the Huntarian Museum yesterday. The skull was of a young child exposing both milk teeth and adult teeth. The skull is the central image and also my favourite part of the A2 poster and so this is why I decided to transfer this onto photoshop. The original image was made from pens and black ink, also with some blue ink splashed in the background. When reworking this piece digitally I began by editing the contrast and making the skull stand out. One of the most effective tools I used was the highlight tool, which created a ring of 'light' around the skull making it seem almost angelic quite ironically.
