Travel (WIP)
-
A bit late to the game with this one, but here are a few ideas I thought about using for travel. Any thoughts about which you would like to see brought forward
1 + 2 - Exploring the idea of kids building vehicles out of cardboard and traveling around in them in their imagination.
3 - A bit of a throwaway, but I liked the idea of a moody kid wanting to run away from home, but he has only made it as far as the edge of his garden.
4 - A traveling sugar dealer riding a bug cowboy style, after visiting a human picnic/kitchen table (somewhere you find sugar cubes)
-
I like #2.
-
No 1 and No 2 look like they would be interesting.
-
Like the exuberance of #2
-
@gary-wilkinson #1 is really nice. #2 is good but seems I've seen that sort of illustration with a boy or animal flying in a cardboard box before. #4 is also pretty cool I like the horned beetle.
-
@gary-wilkinson I agree with the majority here, #2 is the best option. I also agree with @evilrobot that #2 seems like its been done before. But I think that is ok.
-
I like #1 the rounded forms and composition are really nice.
-
I gravitate to #2 right away, though #4 has an interesting composition and story. Suggest doing #2 for the contest and reserving #4 for a separate project.
-
I personally like the #4 most
the bug's expression and shape is hilarious -
they are all great My favorites are 2 and 4
-
#1. I would like to see that cardboard train with cardboard wheels. Maybe have some crayon drawn images on the side...or maybe the wheels could look like they are drawn in crayon. I am just rambling here, but I like the potential of #1 a lot.
-
Look at you turning up the creative heat again this month! Man, these all have potential but I like #1 best. Can't wait to see which direction you go.
-
Thanks for all of your replies! I have almost finished no.2, but part way through I decided to change the concept, so I don't think it fits well with the travel theme anymore, but it felt more suited to change it for my portfolio.
I think I will go for 1 as it seems more "travel" themed and hope to get it done before the end of the contest!
-
So I'm probably not going to go with this piece for the competition as it changed to something that wasn't travel themed in the end, but I thought I would put it up just for show. Time to start no.2! @Eric-Castleman I like your idea of the wheels drawn in crown, that would look cool
-
Looks great!
-
I just LOVE this illustration!) Your style is brilliant!!!

@Spencer-Hale
@margarita-levina
Thank you I really appreciate it
Hoping to do a few more cardboard adventure illustrations soon -
So I decided to go with the train idea and just started roughing in the colors. I'm planning to have different toys in each of the carriages as they travel on their cardboard adventures.
-
@gary-wilkinson I like the composition in this work, and the colors are very good) Looking forward to see the final result. Btw, are you working on the one layer?
-
@margarita-levina I usually make a quick grayscale painting to decide on the lighting, then do a multiply layer to add some colors and then paint in a normal layer over that. I usually stick to one layer when painting but make temporary layers just in case I mess up, but also to compare the changes.
