These are my 5 sketches for the hyper realism project.
Here is also my progress on photoshop
I first inserted the surfer from a cut out of one of my assets. I used the path tool to remove the surfer and the move tool to place it in the background. I then used the pen tool to silhouette the surfers body keeping the lines directly inside his body. that kept the outer edge true and clean without any information from his background. Then inverted the “marching ants” and deleted the extra. I used the same process to place the lazy river couple.
