My first assignment from TAD's opening workshop. The goal was to create a readable piece using only value and shape, no line at all.

I think overall it turned out pretty successfully. The composition was tricky as it had to be square, but through a lot of fiddling and shuffling it ended up working out pretty well.

We focused a lot on process as well; doing thumbnails, value studies, and color studies before even starting on the finished piece, which I think is gonna be a good habit to get in to.

Aaaand that's all I've got. xD


Photoshop, Intuos4, 6-8 hours for the whole process

OMG, I LOVE this! The style reminds me of those oldish sort of cartoons like the Jetsons, and your perspective is great!!

How did you do the bricks? Is that a texture? The purple tones are amazing!

Haha, thanks. xD

And the bricks are a texture, yeah. We were out getting groceries and I took a picture of the building's brick wall. 8D

This is a very balanced piece, very visually engaging. Colors, lights-n-darks, composition... actually a really great illustration.

Well the thumbnails are all pretty indiscernible, but here's the final value study I did for it: [link]
Though even in that the values are kinda off, it's a very bad photo. XD

But yeah, thanks very much! :3

The point is that dragging an enormously bulky screen, complete with bulky power cords, is very inconvenient. So when I'm travelling, like right now, taking along a laptop and small tablet is a much more preferable choice. ;P
