SMOKIN’ RIBS

Posted by on Apr 13, 2012 | 2 Comments

This was inspired by a recent cook-off had recently between me and my housemates.

The colour and heat of the ribs was something that I really wanted to pop out of the picture. I’m pretty pleased with how it turned out.

    Thanks, man! I love specificity.

    The composition of this one was based on a photo I took. I lay down the line-work and then add and play around with values/colour/texture etc.

    I don’t mind using photos as source material but I eventually want to use them less and less because I’d want to gain a greater intuition for anatomy and perspectives.

    The technical process doesn’t take too long, it’s more working out what’s not working if it doesn’t look the way I want it. But I learn with each one and get quicker. Probably a couple of days if everything went smoothly. But that never happens, you usually have to leave it and look at it the next day to with fresher eyes and then fix things.

    Did some basic storyboard stuff for a guy I know last month — there might be something else with the same guy but it’s dependent on him getting his pitch approved. Shameful self-promotion in the meantime.

    Returned LOVE!

    Hey dude! Haven’t been here in a while, you’ve been busy!

    Some great stuff going on here at the moment. My particular favourite being this one, but even more specifically, the feet! Loving those protruding ankles. Each to their own I suppose.

    How do you tend to work, from photos, and how long do they take?

    Loving your work man! Any commissions recently?

    Much LOVE!
