Stella has appointed for me to draw concept art of two screenshots which will be painted stills. These are not going to be used as the final shots however I will heavily use them as reference and as even basic linework to down the working time on drawing out the scene again, the final drawings will most likely be on 300ppi/dpi to ensure the quality of drawings and so not stretching and pixelation will show up during the process of lining it up in Premiere.
Both of the drawings are copying a watercolour style. Therefore there is a process to obtaining desired style. First the linework has to be done in a specific brush set to Multiply with Opacity of around 70+% afterwards that layer is copied and pasted over the original and then a a Gaussian Blur is set (at 3.5 inches) this gives the work an effect as if the ink is bleeding over the watercolour paint. Lastly a watercolour paper texture is applied at the top of all the layers and set to multiply with a opacity less than 40%
Here are the finished results of two of the main drawings that will be referenced to final cut. I'm really happy with how they are looking, especially that watercolour effect.
For the drawing above it took me many tries to get the desired look as I couldn't work out at what angle the buildings needed to be set and drawn to show a perspective of looking from the top of the hill, or otherwise known as to where Jenny's house was. In the end I decided to use Google Maps and get a view of the Steep Hill since it has the same feeling of the angle as the street view above.
Here are some trial and error drawings:
I have even used a map overview to work out what would Jenny be able to see if she stood in a given direction since me and Stella wanted for her to look at the see without getting her line of sight obscured by some of the bigger buildings at the front of the pier.
As you can see I have drawn over a Google Street view to get a sense of the angled feeling and to work out the angle that drawing needed to be to achieve that look.
