Pengenalan ikan hiasan

- Penulisan-

Dalam portfolio ini saya merancang untuk melukis Ikan Arowana kerana kebanyakan kawan telah memilih ikan koi dan
saya tidak mahu mengulangi subject yang sama. Ikan Arowana merupakan symbol kekuatan dan juga kekayaan dalam
budaya masyarakat Cina. Nama arowana dalam Bahasa Cina merupakan ikan naga emas. Saya mengaitkan nama ikan dan
naga kepada mitos Cina yang agak lama. Di dalam mitos ini, seeokr ikan yang berjaya renang mangatasi aliran air terjun
sampai puncak sebuah gunung akan menjadi sebuah naga. Ini adalah konsep berusaha bersungguh-sungguh sampai
berjaya. Saya rasa cerita ini adalah lebih bermakna daripada symbol arowana yang terus melambangkan kekayaan dan
kekuatan tanpa melibatkan proses usaha itu.

Dalam budaya Cina, fengshui atau yingyang juga merupakan satu konsep yang saya agak sukai. Setiap benda haruslah
seimbang baru dapat kita menjadikan kehidupan kita senang dan bermakna. Saya merancang untuk menambah ikan betta
sebagai burung phoenix yang menemani ikan arowana sebagai naga untuk melengkapkan konsep yingyang menggunkan
kedua-dua ikan tersebut.

Media yang saya ingin menggunakan adalah digital. Menggunakan drawing tablet Huion H1060P dan firealpaca
(software) untuk menghasilkan karya akhir. Ini adalah kerana digital akan senangkan proses kerja dengan “layer” yang
membolehi saya buat kesilapan tanpa risau.

Pheonix
Percubaan untuk tukar sirip menjadi bulu phoenix dikira
Berjaya tetapi color scheme lebih baik ikut warna semulajadi
ikan beta (terutamanya badan ikan)









Kajian Komposisi

Idea yang dipilih:

Ikan arowana dan ikan betta sebagai Ying Yang yang saling memandangi serta mengerja.
Idea ini memberi tumpuan kepada contrast warna dan juga komposisi simetri (bulat dibahagikan dua).

Rules of third composition # Rules of third composition #
Fokus: 1Kepala arowana dan sihir dekat kepala. 2 Sirip belakang (tail fin) ikan betta Fokus: 1Pergerakan dinamik dan semulajadi, 2Kepala arowana, 3Sirip betta

Golden ratio @ Golden ratio @
Fokus: 1Pergerakan arowana (main) ditemani ikan betta (secondary) Fokus: 1Pergerakan betta di depan diikuti arowana di belakang







Kajian Warna





Kajian Teknik

1. Membuat lakaran dengan garisan yang jelas.
2. Menggunakan greyscale untuk buat “value keying” supaya dapat “form” yang

jelas masa proses mewarnakan ikan.
3. Percubaan warna
4. Menjadikan greyscale (no saturation) kepada warna cerah (saturation). Warna di

color wheel boleh digerakkan ke arah warna biru/hijau tanpa menggerakkan
kegelapan untuk dapat warna sejuk. Warna merah pulak boleh didapati
menggunkan proses sama tetapi menggerakkan color wheel ke arah warna
merah/kuning.
5. Menggunakan airbrush untuk sapukan warna secara nipis dan cuba “blend”
warna yang telah dipilih.
6. Menggunakan watercolor brush untuk mewarnakan secara tebal untuk
menunjukkan bayang dan cahaya dengan jelas.

Penggunaan layer masa melukis menggunkan media digital.

Layer berfungsi macam gelas, layer yang bawah masih akan dinampak jika layer di atas tidak
menutup dengan pixel yang “opacitynya” 100%.

Ini bermaksud “brush” seperti watercolor dan airbrush yang mewarnakan menggunkan opacity
pixel yang kurang daripada 100% akan mengizinkan warna/garisan di layer bawah ditunjukkan.

Menggunkkan layer, karya dapat dihasilkan dengan cepat dan proses mewarna tidak akan terus
mengkotorkan/menutup garisan dari proses lain (seperti outline)

Kajian teknik berdasarkan teiknik-teknik yang digunkan oleh pelbagai artist di YouTube.
