I went back to Procreate on my iPad the other day and finished up an illustration I’d started months ago, basically doing a treatment of a photo I took at the farmer’s market. I think it needs some more work, but I like how it turned out.
Via Drawn: look at this beautiful piece by Eleanor Davis.
I’ve also set up a Tumblog for illustration here. I’m going to post 1-2 images from the archives per week, and maybe add some inspiration as I go. We’ll see.
I’ve been sitting on this one for a while, not knowing how to finish it off. I think I’m going to do another version with more detail, which means the source material will be larger. So, consider this a study for the final.
Yes, I’m here. And I’m not slacking off in the illustration department; I’ve just been taking my time with a new piece that’s more involved than a simple portrait. Here’s a teaser:
I’m trying to balance my perfectionism with the appeal of handmade craft; once the black and white is finished I’m going to try a new approach to color and add some typography. I’m excited.
In other news, after finally kicking the Chinook IPA with dinner, I kegged the hefeweizen and chilled it overnight in the cooler. The final gravity was only .001 off from the recipe, and it tastes really good—a lot more personality than the American Ale I’ve got. My neighbor is going to take my tank with his and get them refilled with Co2 tomorrow, so I should be in good shape for the parade party. Next up: another summery recipe to brew after the parade.
