Boys' Life Magazine cover- 9.5x' x 12" Digital
I just finished uploading this image to Boys' Life for the December 2011 cover. I already posted the other two illustrations for this project here and here. I had a soft deadline on this since it won't publish until December and my procrastination skills meshed with other deadlines to delay finish. I left this one until last partly because I knew I would want more time on it and partly as a delay tactic hoping that along the way I would magically get better at Photoshop. Well, I actually think that I did get better. In between the first two pieces and this one, i had a series of pieces with short deadlines that forced me to work quicker and more efficiently. As a result, when I returned to this piece, I felt like I had new skills and processes to draw upon and I think this is a stronger piece as a result.
Your acrylic/traditional style is definitely starting to show more strong in your digital illustrations. Great job!
ReplyDeleteI personally also like to re-approach an old project with new eyes and techniques. It is rather refreshing. I wish all projects lended such a time schedule to allow that. ^_^
Well, your new skills sure paid off. Outstanding!
