Well it's a new year and time to kick it in gear.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I've decided to challenge myself this year by picking a subject for each month and posting 13 images on the 13th day of the month.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This month I am posting 13 portraits from a freelance job that I finished in December of last year.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
They were created in Adobe Illustrator CS2.</div>

It was inked with a brand new Pigma brush pen.<br />
I can't say I recommend them.<br />
The brush is already going bad.<br />
<br />
I'll have to go back to learning to control a real brush with ink.<br />

Today is Doctor Seuss' Birthday.<br />
I was subbing at a high school so I didn't have any reference to draw from so I decided to draw a cat in a hat holding a fish in a bowl and thing 1 and thing 2.<br />
Now that I am home I can look up some reference to influence the inking.<br />
<br />
I also did some more sketches of Vincent van Gogh.<br />

An old guy on a vespa because I was searching for a motorcycle image on the web for a client drawing and some vespa images came up.<br />
<br />
This is where I am at so far...<br />

Since it's winter and Xmas time I decided to portray the guy as Santa.<br />
I didn't want to do Santa in his work clothes, he doesn't deliver toys on a vespa after all, so I put him in his street clothes.<br />
Then I decided that he would be headed for a well deserved vacation, thus the Dec 26th calendar page and Miami sign.<br />
I'm working on the background now.<br />
You can see that I have some snow drifts back there.<br />
I'm thinking that I'll have to add something in the far background to breakup the blue sky.<br />
I might put his workshop back there.<br />
I think I may add a trailer loaded with luggage being pulled behind the vespa to add to the going on vacation feel.<br />
Let me know what you all think of the image so far.<br />
I'm looking for comments on color, contrast, detail, does anything look "off," that kind of thing.Robert Snyderhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08179783751922803976noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7299189572653059368.post-72928867020895664582010-11-20T08:37:00.000-08:002010-11-20T08:37:09.601-08:00Head games<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">Lately when I do art for myself it's with traditional media.
