Tone of voice

heikki leis has produced artworks that i feel captures everyday scenes and has made them beautiful, and has drown attention to something that would other wise go unnoticed. 

i like Leis tone of voice in this image as he uses detail to draw attention to the narrative he wants to highlight but still shows the context of the narrative by illustrating the scene in a different media (method of applying media) 

when i go out and take photographs of everyday scenes, i think a technique like the one used in the illustration above would be a good way to show how this ordinary scene has become 'extraordinary'in my head, by illustrating the scene but exaggerating parts with different medias not only highlight the part of the image i want to draw attention too, but also changes it from a copy (photography' of the scene, but into a interpretation. 

below i have experimented with tone of voice, drawing from still life, highlighting parts of the object that most stood out to me. i chose this object (hand cream) as it is something i use on a daily basis but never take the time to look at it as a design as it has always been a functional object. 

i am happy with the result of this illustration as i feel it has made a everyday object a piece of art/illustration instead of just a physical object we take for granted. much like the work by Michael Landy below, he has taken a everyday object/scene of a brush with hair in and turned it into something we will observe and have a opinion on.
 i wanted to emphasise how i saw the colour on this object- bold and inciting, so i decided to make it the focal point of the piece, making it spill out of the concise lines as if to represent how overwhelming the colours were on the object. though i like the combination of colour, collage and pencil, i am unsure weather the pencil is bold enough or too soft against the rest of the medias, i could experiment with pen with these medias to see which one works best. taking inspiration from Michael landy, i have made the illustration smaller on photoshop, surrounding it with more negative space, i feel this gives the object space to breath and be appreciated (because it is the only detailed thing on the page) unlike what it perhaps gets in it everyday surrounding.
