About Athletic 일러스트레이션 시리즈

애슬레틱(Athletic)은 디지털 페인팅 소프트웨어로 제작한 스포츠 주제의 일러스트레이션 시리즈이다. 각 이미지는 복잡한 운동 동작을 단순한 선과 형태로 환원한다. 폭넓은 참고 이미지 연구를 거쳐 각 종목에서 가장 대표적인 자세를 선정하였다. 종이 위에 그린 전통 회화의 질감을 떠올리게 하는 맞춤 브러시와 텍스처를 개발하였다. 각 원본 작품의 크기는 72dpi에 1920×1920픽셀이다. 이 시리즈는 움직임의 한순간에 담긴 아름다움과 에너지를 보여주는 것을 목표로 한다.

Unique Properties
This is a series of illustrations, in the work I have tried to present the texture of traditional painting by using digital tech.
At the same time, generalize the complex form of motion into simple lines and shapes is another thought of mine, in this way I can show how dynamic and beautiful the motion of sports is.
Dimensions & Packaging
The original painting size is 1920X1920 pixels, 72 dpi by each.

Production Technology
This is an illustration series made completely by computer painting software, Adobe Photoshop.
Inspired by traditional painting on paper, I tried to restore the sense of the material in traditional painting with software, through many attempts, I finally created the most suitable brushes and textures.
Design Challenge
The key to this series is to accurately grasp the most unique characteristics of each movement and present it through the simplest graphics and lines.
In the process of collecting information, I noticed that each sport contains a large number of body movements, how to find the most representative and at the same time aesthetic movements in so many movements is the biggest challenge I faced.
Research
In order to better complete this series, I did a lot of searching for each relevant movement and summarized the most representative movements from a large number of picture materials.
After completing this step of selection, the next step is to simplify the complex body language and retain the most critical information. Therefore, while taking into account both the form and aesthetics, every line and every piece of the figure presented in the picture has its own necessity
Inspiration
I did an animation about badminton a few years ago, and since then I have been fascinated by the expression of sports-related topics. In this series, I focused more on capturing the beauty of the moment than showing the whole process of sports, and I found that each sport has its own standard movements, and they present a unique form that is easily recognizable and has a strong sense of beauty. So I decided to create this series of illustrations.
Project Duration
The project is made in 2019 and featured in Behance Illustration in January 2021.
Operation Flow
This is a sports-themed illustration that tries to convey to the viewer the unique beauty of each sport.
