Free the Nipples

After
Before

Free the Nipple is a sketch I made to represent a recent Feminism campaign/march, to try and take away the sexual stigma women's boobs have. This is because it is perceived that women should not breast feed in public and go around topless as its seen as sexual, where as men are free to walk around topless without any stigma.

I drew two rough nipples using Photoshop, I wanted the two nipples to be very different in shape, colour and texture, this is because not all nipples are similar.
To blend in the highlights and shadows I used a new technique, I tried using the "mixer tool", as it helps blend colours together, I had to trial changing the wetness, size and mix to get the right consistency I wanted.

The final design of this image I love as you can see the brush strokes, which I really wanted as boobs are a natural things, I also love how the colours have blended together. If I could change anything I would trial a different font as I'm not sure it fits aesthetically, I would also try and lower the amount of negative shape there is as i think it takes over the page.

Dominic Murphy Artist Research

Dominic Murphy is a British artist who works in a very gruesome and dark art way. Lots of his work is based around Alice in wonderland. I like how he uses a lot of colour but in a monotone kind of sense, making the piece look more gruesome and horrible. All his artwork is very realistic which works well in his favour as it adds more of a weird and creepy aspect to the work. It has inspired me to use colour but in a neutral and with a low saturation through out the book.

Original stories Dinsey used to base their movies off

Lots of Disney films are based off Original books that are changed to be more compatible with their child audience. The original stories are quite gruesome and horrid, I want to make a Illustrated piece to show people that not all stories begin happy. Snow White: Evil Queen eats the lungs and liver , believing them to be Snow White's The Prince finds Snow White in her glass coffin and takes her to his castle, when one of the carriers trips , causing the poised apple to get dislodged awakening Snow White. The Prince and Snow White get married and force the Evil Queen to wear burning hot iron shoes and dance until she drops dead. Rapunzel: The Prince visits Rapunzel that often she becomes pregnant with twins. The witch sees Rapunzel's baby bump, she cuts off her hair and banishes her to the wilderness , the witch lures the Prince into the tower using Rapunzel's hair. When the prince sees the witch and hears how he will never see Rapunzel again he jumps out the wi...

Adbusters Research

 Adbusters is a website that fights consumerism brands/people using powerful posters that have a strong meaning/story for the audience. Adbuster shows consumers how bad company's are to the environment and to them. My favourite image is of a baby being breast fed and the mother having a burger painted on her boob, this is very inspiring as it shows that any bad greasy food the mother eats so does the baby, this poster is meant to open women's eyes up to being careful of what they eat when pregnant. This has inspire me to try and develop a certain logo and change it into something bad they do; Pepsi logo being turned into an obese person as there is a lot of sugar and calories in them.
