Firstly I started off by drawing out some building ideas with a crayon, keeping them fairly un-neat so that I could draw them out neater when I went to watercolour them. I decided to do the same as my emulation, moving away slightly from the disneyland theme and more towards the general idea of things at a theme park and doing this meant I had a lot more to work with and was able to create more designs.
After sketching out lots of different ideas in my sketchbook I decided to draw out my favourite ones onto a piece of thicker paper, that would make my watercolours look of a better quality. I made sure the lines I drew were fairly thin and faint so that it wasn't too obvious when i went over with the watercolours.
After drawing them out I started to use my watercolours to add colour to the drawings. I wanted to try and use the main primary colours, keeping them saturated and making sure they were the colour that were associated with those foods.
I then used the watercolours to create tone in my designs. First I used a darker yellow on the chips, which i really like because i think it adds depth to the design and makes the chips look more realistic. After I had done these I tried to do the same with the rest of them and I think it worked well on most of them, especially the doughnut building and the hot dog building. I also think once I put the whole design into Photoshop and change the contrast and saturation of the images they will stand out and the tone will look more effective.
When I had put them into Photoshop i selected each separate part of the image and separated them into different layers. I used the brush tool to add in subtle parts of colour to the different images to add more depth and shadows to the images. I also changed the levels of the whole image to make the separate drawings brighter and more defined.
I then went onto the separate layers which the images were on and changed the shadows and highlights slightly to again add more depth into them and make it more subtle.
