Magnify


Here's my submission for Illustration Friday's topic of "magnify". I did it as a promotional piece, and ended up creating a story around it as you can gleam from the concept sketches I've included.

The sketches are done with Col-Erase pencils. I got this from my animation friends who seem to always use the blue ones (I think if they use anything else they get kicked out of the club). I like them because I can start the sketch with a lighter colour and refine it with subsequently darker colours. This is good for me because my first attempts almost always suck so I save both paper, and the time it would take to start from zero. Hooray!

  5. It's always fascinating to look at before-after shots of art, so including the pencil work is very interesting.

    I really like your illustration style, very digital but also very handmade looking. I browsed through the rest of your blog and was very impressed with the Big Lebowski characters you drew.

    I have subscribed ;)
