The Illustration Friday topic is "Sky". Oh well. This was an attempt. I changed the obnoxious black splatters to white. They were too heavy. It's still awkward. I might try another one.

The figure is excellent. I will admit to not knowing how to take the splotches, lol, but your drawings are always so cool! Great contrasts.
ReplyDeleteWell...the first couple were accidental, and to try to make them look not-accidental, I added some more, but they came down way too heavily, and....well....it actually looks prett y stupid.
ReplyDeleteThis is very cool - I like the splotches, they give it more of a surreal look.

DeleteI really like this! And the splotches definitely don't take away from anything... I think they add to it!
ReplyDeleteI like the composition here...and the dramatic perspective. It is always a pleasure to see your posts!
ReplyDeleteHey! I don't think the splotches look out of place. I think they give the sense of the joy of music - it's almsot like the horn player is controlling the elements - I like it very much,- I'm sorry I had the comments turned off on the blog - I didn't have enough time to visit anyone and thought it was only fair - cheers from ear :)
ReplyDeletepah! the splotches bring energy to the sky. love the strong lighting and the free play of line.
ReplyDeleteThe splotches look great on the computer, however they look on the actual piece. I like this a lot.
ReplyDeletethe splotches are the explosion of a soul.
ReplyDeleteI don't hink this looks awkward at all!
