Even though I'm constantly trying to stretch myself stylistically with drawings, I hardly ever wander outside my norm when putting down color. Here's a partially-successful attempt to do something a tiny bit different.
Thanks for the kind comments. Sebastien: Used a paper texture I had at various sizes and using the square chalk. I then painted little shadows under each of the larger ones.
I really like the contrast of scale between the shell and the crab. The blue-green gradient is nice too.
ReplyDeleteFun. Feels like a cool relief sculpture. Or like fridge magnets.
ReplyDelete"Partially successful?" What? The only thing I don't like about it is that I can't do anything like it. You're a talented man, Sam.

ReplyDeleteDid you paint the little dots on him by hand?
Thanks for the kind comments.

Very nice and clean. The little crab design is very expressive too :)
ReplyDeleteVery funny! Design and textures are wonderful, great work :)
ReplyDeleteHey Sam!
ReplyDeleteSaw this one in class. LOVED it. How did you make it look like layers of paper?
Love this! Really has a dimensional feel to it. Those subtle texture areas, like the bumps on the crab, are pure eye candy!
ReplyDeleteI love the texture-y stuff on the shell, good stuff Sam!
