Divas (Cartoon)
3.19.07 My drawing at its best will never be as good as my writing as its best, but I labored over this anyway. Not really a caricature, but it does capture a certain mood.
4.4.07 This is my updated
version below. Good practice in Illustrator
and in searching for a style that's reliably my own. Right now
I'm crazy about the style of the French cartoonist Killoffer
and went to great lengths to find a copy of his "Six
Hundred an Seventy Six Apparitions of Killoffer." 
Aside
from his wild story and brilliant compositions, his figures are
expressive yet stylized. He uses only black and white: black
areas outlined in white, white areas outlined in black. I've been
slavishly trying to figure out how to efficiently reproduce that
effect in Adobe Illustrator. Also trying to pay attention to composition
and black-white balance. Version 2 shows some improvement, but
the little fish doesn't stand out, does it?
Thumbs Up if you liked this entry.
