I got totally juiced after seeing Olivier Kugler's work this morning. Thank you very much Laura! So I decided to try my hand at a similar technique. I loved how deliberate the line work was in Kugler's drawings. So I did this portrait of my nephew Tom. Rather than my usual sketchy pencil, back and forth wavering, I drew with a very deliberate line. Not lifting the pen from paper until each path found it's end.
When the pen and ink drawing was complete I scanned it and completed the coloring in Photoshop with a Wacom tablet.
This was so much fun to do. An experiment for me, which is always good...
Here's the original drawing:

Chuck this is fantastic! I like the original line drawing but oh my what a transformation in the final color version! I love your loosely applied color, (and color choices) and the design of this, wow!
oh yes yes yes to the second color version! don't you love finding a new technique to freshen your work?
Wow that's such a strong drawing...and I agree it looks extra great in color!
it's so amazing how it looks so different when the color has been applied but i also like the line drawing. love the hair!
This is great - I felt the same way about his work when I looked at it yesterday and thought I'd have a go sometime in the future
Well, damn! I'm so glad to see you this excited about art and your own work! Yay for you! This will be fun to watch develop.
These are really awesome,Chuck
Thanks guys.
Cindy, I was thinking about you and your top secret photoshop techniques when I was doing this.
It's really fun to try somethig new once in a while.
Thanks for the inspiration Laura, and thanks for being confused Wally. :-)
This is something completely different! And I think I like yours better than Kugler ...
Very very cool!
Chuck, I think all of those blind contour drawings you've been doing have given you a great confidence in your line skills!
Carolyn, I think you may be on to someting. This is just fun to do. I just put the pen to paper and let 'er rip. The outcome is the outcome.
I fully match with whatever thing you've presented.
