Jeff Bezos Color!

7/31/2016

0 Comments

 
So, This was interesting to play with. I hadn't really considered Jeff Bezos with entirely warm skin tones. I really imagined him being mostly straight white with these spots of color. I used reference images from work by John Hendrix to try to get an idea of what a person looks like when their flesh tones are of a different hue...though putting it that way I suddenly realize I could have just done experiments in photoshop too.... oh well. I used the same draw-trace-scan-color process with a charcoal pencil and brush. Whereas the Jim Boenheim image looked great on way, I think this one needs to have the chunkier lines.

Admittedly, this is odd as a close up image and great as a thumbnail size. I think I need to do it with less blending and harder lines separating the color.... But, alas, it is almost 10:30 so I am ended.

Bezos...

I finally figured out how to draw Bezos. I worked through a few different ideas but the one I finally came to is almost a realistic image except with his chin pushed in. He has a very triangular shaped profile because of his nose coming forward and his brow and chin being a bit farther back. Perhaps a good next iteration will take that to a greater extreme....

It's been about a week since I've really been able to sit down and draw, and I can really tell the difference. I'm not pleased with this drawing or the photoshop job. I have alot to figure out with shadows and ink. The image is made of a couple different shots taken from the show Stranger Things in moments when El or 'Eleven' is walking through 'The Upside Down' psychically. I think that I should have done the simple line drawing with the thin Microns and then added all the tone in photoshop....with a cintiq....which I don't own.....

This idea is slowly coming together. I'm posting it because I want to see what it looks like outside of photoshop, and to determine whether or not it really needs colors... But I really like where it's headed, creatively, not politically.

Obama Caricature cleaned up!

​This is the Obama caricature cleaned up. These were the only thing I could find him doing on a somewhat repetitive basis. My guess is that his reservation comes from introversion so the expression is a bit blank and he does this thing with his mouth, pursing his lips and using his chin muscle. I'm thinking I'll have to do caricatures by assigning emotional states to the people I draw, rather than try to encapsulate them...
