TRYING NEW STUFF




Always good to mix it up a bit , I guess. I've been playing around for awhile the idea of mixing my original drawing with the illustrator program. There has always been a quality about my drawings that I lost when I went to paint that I have always missed. This finally gives me the chance to retain that quality and move to color. I've posted two examples of things I've worked on that are moving ( i think ) in the right direction. Not quite there yet but I think it has possibilities. Amid all my freelance and full time job, i'm trying to continue to mess around with this new direction.

Interesting. I've done some similar work, but in photoshop instead of illustrator. I've recently taken to converting my sketches to line art and then coloring the lines as well. I'm not sure how I feel about it. Looks like we're in about the same place. I'd love to see you scan your original drawing and composite it on top of your finished and traditionally painted piece and see how that works. I love love love your paintings.
