Adrian Bradbury Emulation

I enjoyed working in the way of Adrian Bradbury so much that I decided to do an emulation of his work also so I chose a photo which I had taken from earlier on in the course and this was my starting point

I then proceeded to work on the photograph in photoshop using similar methods to Bradbury's such as experimenting with the transparency of different colours and textures. I also tried to use bright colours which also contrasted well suck as the purple and yellow which are opposites

Here you can see me coming towards the finish of the piece. I used many layers to achieve my desired effects and the looks I was going for.

When I had come to what I thought was the finish it still looked a little flat around the car. As if i had made everything else in the picture the subject apart from the subject itself

So what I did was try and disturb the norm a little bit and add some effects to the car such as Inking the tonal differences on the top right of the car and using colour filters on other parts of the car. Another thing which helped was sharpening the picture of the car itself and tweaking the contrast. Overall I am very pleased with the end result and I think I have got to grips with Adrians techniques very well.
