After William Callow

After William Callow

Tried a study of a what looks like pen and washes.  Tall order for me in Photoshop.   Worked on it for a few hours but still lot left to refine in it.  The detail packed into the original is immense.  The house is still there  but the street scape has changed somewhat.

Tried out a full on illustration.  It dropped out of a photobashing exercise.  Looking at the starting point i can see I could have taken a more dramatic direction but this is where I ended up.  I think when I take this as a starting point it, rather than confining opens up more possibilities.  The battle with this was to cool the palette down which I tried to do maybe could have gone even cooler in passages.

Did this study quite a while ago.  A study from a photo.  Not one the recent pieces I have been working on.  I started a few this week but none are complete.  I got a new tablet -Wacom Pro medium during the week and spent 3 evenings trying to get it to work.  Drivers are a disaster- had to disable some windows settings to get them loaded.  Finally ended up working with an earlier version driver.  Never had any problems with my old Intuos 3?  Guess that's progress.

Worked on this one for a while.  Used a few textures here and there to move things along.  Still fussed over the details and I could have worked on it for a lot longer to polish. This is it for now.

Started doodling this while working on a more complicated piece.  I finished this reasonably quickly - most complicated part were the arms.  Pattern was an overlay.  Was initially going to add a lot of equipment but in the end kept it simple.

A simpler effort.  Working on atmosphere.
