Second, in my opinion this does work as an illustration. It looking like a photo doesn’t take anything away from it being a successful illustration. I could see this being in a magazine for an article about drinking with your friends and doing weird stuff or getting with a crazy girl who loves pushing your face in.Dsawyerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18044149374142351716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3124378925641768768.post-38715525357253169872010-10-20T13:27:36.671-07:002010-10-20T13:27:36.671-07:00This is really quite astonishing given it's me...This is really quite astonishing given it's medium.

It is spectacular once you understand that it's a drawing. Otherwise I would just think it's a goofy photo!Chelsea McCombshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17072383218410310836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3124378925641768768.post-16602040179640800682010-10-13T15:01:20.270-07:002010-10-13T15:01:20.270-07:00Myles - I'm fairly certain it's on white p...Myles - I'm fairly certain it's on white paper.<br /><br />He draws people from photographs. These are pretty large scale drawings too(~30"x40"). There is a great technical expertise going on here in terms of knowing your materials. However I must state that the artist first projects his image then goes to work shading. It looks really cool, don't get me wrong, but it's kind of boring if you were to use this as an illustration. What kind of narrative does create? Does it stop you and make you think about it for more that 9 seconds? There's some interesting shapes going on but this would take way too long to be a feasible illustration style at that size.blaquesmithehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12219473115223479678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3124378925641768768.post-38284695694363900912010-10-13T14:35:26.983-07:002010-10-13T14:35:26.983-07:00i like this piece. i thought it was a photo at fir...i like this piece. i thought it was a photo at first but then i looked again and saw the stroke lines. i wondering does he only draw people or does he focus on other subject matters. also is that blue paper he drew onMYLEShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09709293554828388669noreply@blogger.com
