This piece used a combination of Photoshop and painting on top of the image in acrylic in order to create this visual representation. First I went t into Photoshop and used the liquify tool to pull in all the parts of the body that I feel are the most affected and irritating areas when I wear clothing such as tight tops and skinny jeans. As you can see I came to the conclusion that the chest, waist thighs are often my problem areas in these circumstances. I then went into painting this image with acrylic to show what was casing the constrict. This aspect of the image was inspired by the work of Yung Chen Lin as he often uses thread and constraint as running themes throughout his photography work.
I really enjoyed making this piece as being able to go into Photoshop to create the illusion of constraint ended up being so much more effective in the realistic sense and time wise as opposed to if I were to take a traditional route and paint the entire thing from scratch or even trying to manipulate the figure in a photograph using paint,
