Illustration Fixation: January 2012

Viewers are often amazed at how many colors are visible in something that's purportedly "white". But I'm not here to talk about color just yet - as usual, I'm here to talk about VALUE. First and foremost, the reason an element in a painting appears white is because it's the whitest thing in the painting. But check out how dark the mom and dad figures a...

Monday, February 27, 2012. Quiet Noise - Painting a City Scene. This is one of four pieces I created recently for an educational publication dealing with poetry:. The brief for this piece called for a " busy city scene: skyscrapers, busy sidewalks and streets filled with cars, trucks, fire trucks, jets in the sky. Words that would strike fear into the heart of any illustrator working on tight deadlines, myself included! Surrounded by a ton of city reference images, I cobbled together this rough. It d...

Illustration Fixation: March 2012

Wednesday, March 14, 2012. Painting a Snow Scene - working the whole. This is a picture I did for the second book in the Maurice's Valises series. This picture needed to capture the excitement and promise of Maurice the mouse setting out on one of his most important adventures, in this case traveling by barge to the city of Moscow in deep winter. Here I've laid in the basic values and colors for the picture. The compositional approach is fairly simple. I should also add that for some artists it does.

Illustration Fixation: Cooking Up an Organized Mess
http://illustrationfixation.blogspot.com/2015/01/cooking-up-organized-mess.html
Monday, January 5, 2015. Cooking Up an Organized Mess. With a lot of pictures you don't need (or want) to have detail all over the place. This can kill the focus, the epicness of the design. but for some pictures you need to have a lot of stuff at a pretty developed level of rendering. There was a time not so long ago that putting together a picture like this would have been really daunting for me. If that's true for you now, take heart! Here's the initial rough:. I scan that and clean it up in Photoshop:.

Illustration Fixation: March 2015
http://illustrationfixation.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
Tuesday, March 24, 2015. Of Mice and Monks. Folks have been asking about my process lately, which in some ways I gather is different from many other painters. This is a pretty simple image I did for Maurice's Valises: The Muuha of Bang Bua:. I start with a really simple rough, but only do the bare minimum needed to give me a guide for painting. As usual my rough sketch is pathetically simple. Lately I have been developing preliminary drawings a bit more. The basic value layout shown under the sketch.

Illustration Fixation: The indispensable mini-sketchbook
http://illustrationfixation.blogspot.com/2011/05/indespensible-mini-sketchbook.html
Thursday, May 19, 2011. You never know when inspiration will strike - a cliché, but so true. Sometimes you can’t find the groove, other times you can’t stop the images from flowing. I guess we don't really control this process as much as we'd like to think. So I am never caught without my tiny 3x5 sketchbook (I got sick of seeing those priceless scribbles on napkins, envelopes and paper place mats! Finally it's, eureka! Here's a drawing like this I did for The Selfish Giant by Oscar Wilde. 8226; Midwest ...
