I tried something different this time.
In fact, everything that I did on this graphic is out of my comfort zone. And it wasn't entirely a bad experience.

prepare for a long recount of what happened guise HAHA

This is my entry for Idealistic Contest Round 2. For this round, all contestants are allocated a folder containing stuff that they have to use in their graphic.
When I received my folder, it was like inspiritkpop knew my weakness ;A; the folder contained fluff related genre kind of resource. I considered giving up because I CAN'T DO FLUFF FOR THE LIFE OF ME

So I went around searching for inspiration and decided to make a B1A4 album cover for their latest album 'Who Am I'. It was a graphic that I've never done before. You see, there are actually two mini blends in this one big blend. I did both separately and the problem came when I realise the colours didn't match. (thank goodness for match colour feature but it didn't help much). And also, the resources I was given were used weirdly. Everything just didn't flow. There were too much contrast, things looked over-sharpened and over-filtered. After mix and matching z, I finally got the colouring without getting it to . (I've never been so fed up with colouring before XD) Then I used brushes (see those curly lines?). oh my gawd. I had a hard time choosing where to position the curly lines without messing up the whole composition.

One rewarding thing was the colouring for Jinyoung. HEHEHEHEHEHE after this graphic, B1A4 is creeping up my bias list omg XD
anyone spot Sandeul playing the guitar here? ;D

so sorry about my long ramble.
