That's how Norman Rockwell did it too! Works for me! Dinotopia is amazing. I also liked reading about the use of the oil wash on the treehouse piece. I'd like to learn more about that.
There's so much to be learned from even these brief posts: The slight adjustments you made in going from reference to final - the amount of shoulder and arm in the final, for example.
Also, thanks for including the links to earlier posts (e.g. the one her on uses for refrigerator columns). Now that your blog has such a history and, as far as I know, isn't searchable, it's great to be pointed back to some of these older gems.

ReplyDeleteFunny thing about this is how little it appears you really followed the photo. Like it was just a pair of hands holding that ladder, so to speak.
ReplyDeleteThis is so cool :D
ReplyDeleteLove how you use pretty much anything if it helps you get a grip on the artwork you want to produce
