Umbrellas in Flight Under
different Lights
Today I did some more sketches,
continuing to fool around with umbrellas. I’m at that point again. I need to
come up with the story..
Then I started playing with the
lights. The grey version is more accurate as the sketch was drawn on toned grey
paper. The same sketch under a yellow
light I think has more appeal. Looks sort of like an illustration in the
yellowing pages of an old children’s storybook.
5.5”x 8.5” ballpoint pen and a
colored pencil on toned grey paper
I love both the first maybe a bit more, I'm thinking of Mary Poppins finally hitting the year 2013...lol
ReplyDeleteI didn’t think of MP.. I was still into strong winds and women in flowing skirts when this was sketched.

Oh yes...the yellow one really comes to life.
ReplyDeleteReminds me of the sepia-toned illustration in an old children's story book too.
Ah, such memories of childhood!:)
The light source really does make a difference. I so love the illustrations those older children’s books. Actually I like children’s books in general mostly because they almost always include visual art.
