How could one not do an illustration about Halloween if the word of the week is "scary"
and it is the weekend right before the scariest day of the year?
I certainly couldn't resist!
Here is my scary illustration:
What do you think is going to happen with Pooch once Pumpkin pounces on him?
Can Vampire-Girl protect him and will Mummy-Boy join forces with her
or will it be just too scary for him?
Since I have been participating in IF, I have started to play more with a looser style of illustration.
My main focus in my work in the past had been mostly on the non fiction side and I felt it was time to get more playful. I am quite surprised about how much I have enjoyed the process so far.
I recently bought a video by Will Terry at Folio Academy. It was soooo good, I learned a lot from it. Especially how much fun it is to use some texture in your brush.
The video is called "Digital Painting in Photoshop 1+2"(http://folioacademy.com/).
I wanted to mention it here, as I feel very grateful to Will to share his incredible knowledge in his videos as well as on his blogs.
Thank's again, Will!
Weel done. I do like the playfulness you mention -much better than outright scary. :)
ReplyDeletewonderful expressions. Great color too
ReplyDeleteThis is absolutely stunning!!
ReplyDeleteYou're technique is amazing!
ReplyDeleteAs I mentioned in my post, some of the technique I am using right now, I learned from Will Terry in his Photoshop tutorials.
ReplyDeleteI have always used a more hard edged and pretty detailed way of illustrating. I love the process of getting looser, using soft edges and playing around with different textures. There is so much more to explore.
I am loving it!
Wow, this is really great! I love the scared, blue, slightly unraveling mummy. And always bonus points for adding a dog. I love the colors and the spooky crooked landscape.
ReplyDeletelove the colors.
