These four illustrations were begun as demos for the course I teach at the Savannah College of Art and Design. Just so happened that I really felt like finishing them up over the Christmas break. Buddy Holly was actually completed over the summer as it was from a demo during spring quarter.
In these works, I used more actual painting with the acrylics to adjust the colors and values and etc. By dabing or using the squiggle line with a small synthetic round, you can adjust color and value more subtiley than with colored pencils. Some areas are simple flat shapes which contrast the rendered areas with purpose. These catagories are ment to be contrasted in art – values/lights and darks, colors/warms and cools, textures/smooth and rough and so forth and so on.
