I&#...Thank you for the kind words and links Phil :)<br />I'm trying to be more loose and free in terms of designing so that I don't overwhelm myself in the detail and that UPA style is exactly what I was going for but couldn't find a name for it!, <br />I find illustrator and the pen tool tricky to use to be honest, I don't have much experience with it but all the more reason to use it, I'll definitly give it a whirl, thanks again :)graeme dalyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06734112466583600784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1693262813645169591.post-29889987618632051562017-02-06T22:24:55.753+00:002017-02-06T22:24:55.753+00:00I like the quality of these, Graeme - your world r...I like the quality of these, Graeme - your world reminds me of this great animated adaptation of Poe's The Tell-Tale Heart:<br /><br />https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=flKOtXC4oyM<br /><br />You might want to crisp your style up a bit however - keeping it loose, but making it a little more purposeful: check out the 'UPA style' that characterised cartoons of the 50s and 60s - notice the strong emphasis on line, but the relaxed relationship to 'colouring in' and shading:<br /><br />https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/60/17/51/6017510409c1022c6b44684106b219fa.jpg<br />http://archives.frederatorblogs.com/talk_to_the_snail/files/2008/04/bg730.jpg<br />http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-IOTOPJN9DI4/T4KfjO2tIEI/AAAAAAAANW8/1k31cugm7rk/s1600/WILLOUGHBY%2BHAT%2B1.png<br />http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_QdHn8FT7SdY/SzhLgE_SYgI/AAAAAAAAHkc/rXBDvx8wYnM/s400/magoo009.jpg<br /><br />So it's crisp, clean - but also loose in terms of 'realism' - you should consider working with the pen tool in illustrator maybe to tidy things up in terms of line - and then work back into the resulting images in Photoshop maybe, in terms of using the fill bucket or similar?tutorphilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11842833126210822641noreply@blogger.com
