Smoke: This Old Crackhouse

illustration

Once again, I was able to create an original drawing, learn a new Corel Painter tool (gouche) and finish in one day. As a bonus, this is my very first crackhouse illustration.

As the weeks progress, I hope to simplify my approach to these exercises. The wonderful thing about this exhibit is see how others succeed in creating solutions that are simple, elegant and brilliant. (This doesn't account for the repurpose crowd!)

In that vein, I would say I wish the colors were a little more restricted. For me, it seems like there are too many bright colors. I sometimes found that after I create an illustration I overlay a "colorwash" in Photoshop to mute and unify the colors. Lately I often find that Yellow Ochre type overlay gives me a nice unified set of colors. I will look forward to seeing your other work! Truly you are mightily talented. Permanent Link

(November 8, 2006 at 2:51 AM) illustrationblog: Thanks for the feedback. No, I couldn't find a photogenic crackhouse in time. Therefore, I had to use reference. Actually, the reference material was way too detailed for my primitive drawing skills. Instead, I used giant dark-blue paint strokes and a half-ass attempt at painting a cracked window. Very convincing, yes?

Seriously, thanks for the color management hint. I've used that technique before, with really good results. Depending on the next theme, I should be able to spend more time drawing and less time on research. Permanent Link

"So Kobe called Jerry West and wanted to know how Jerry and Elgin Baylor both moncler coats averaged 30 points. Kobe also said that he wanted to be traded."At that point, Hill was a perennial All-Star and one of the most Klay Thompson Jerseys marketable players in all of sports. He was also a full six years older than Bryant."Of course, Jerry told me about the conversation. And, moncler womens jackets for a few minutes I thought about taking the Pistons up on an offer they made to trade Kobe for Grant Hill.

What the Heck is Illustration Friday?

Think of it as a voluntary, client-free playground for illustrators. A topic is posted every Friday morning. Participants from around the world create, post and share their interpretations.

No Client? Why Bother?

At this stage of my career, I need a weekly public exercise to draw anything at all.

Freshness Dating

Unless otherwise stated, my iFriday work is all-new, created soley for that week's theme. Other Freshness categories include:

  • Repurposed
    Old art, lifted straight from the archives with no current modifications
  • Refurbished
    Previously-viewed art, modified and enhanced for current times
  • Alt Theme
    Past iFriday themes, presented when I have nothing for the current week's theme

Mission Statement

"It is better to be hated for what you are than to be loved for what you are not."
-- Andre Gide
