This is another monoprint. However, this time I have worked into it with watercolour, fine liner pen and water. I used the watercolour to create the shading on the image and the fine liner pen to add just enough definition to allow an understanding of what the print represents - i.e. a tyre skid mark. I created the smudge effect with a sponge and water, dragging it down the page with reducing pressure to create the desired dynamic representation of braking forces and friction between tyre rubber and road surface.

Above is a section of my A2 Level exam piece. I created the image through use of the vectoring technique and using the Adobe Illustrator and Adobe Photoshop software products. I used the Illustrator software to create the outline and to colour in the image and Photoshop to create the shading. To create the shading I used two tools called 'Dodge Tool' and 'Burn Tool'; these two tools allowed me to lighten and darken my vector where appropriate to give my image a more advanced, 3D appearance.
This is my GCSE final exam piece which took me 12 hours to complete. Within the piece I have used a wide range of media. For example I have used acrylic paint, oil pastel, felt tip pen, fine liner pen, sand, pencil shading and watercolour. By using all these techniques and media it has helped me to create this unique piece. I like this as you can see all the different layers I have created to build the piece, the contrast between the layers and different colours and the shading I have created with each media.
