Album Cover Illustration

@Jiří-Kůs lol. Nah, I just did some extreme foreshortening for his left leg and I won't let it he important when I was lay in some values or lighting.

Great perspective. You could maybe incorporate lettering in the shoe sole as well...that might look cool (if its appropriate to the album of course). It does seem to be the focal point at the moment. Look forward to seeing your colour choices.

@Christine-Garner thanks. Those soles are from the Nike 89 Air Flights. I will add the Nike logo later in the picture.

Just be careful of possible copyright issues if you are doing that. I remember several years ago I had an email from someone who wanted an Illustration of someone holding a Starbucks drink, and the Association of Illustrators advised me not to use their logo because of potential copyright infringement (I didn't do the job anyway...). You might need to get permission from Nike first. Please someone correct me if I'm wrong though- I'm just erring on the side of caution.

@Christine-Garner oh yeah I know. I'll prolly just add the type but reduce much of the shape in my linework.

@Durrell-Odom That is one big foot! :-). Great perspective. I find perspective challenging myself so I am impressed.

I'm definitely no expert, but I just watched the Creative Composition class, and they say in it (Will Terry and Jake Parker) that having lines that correspond to the lines of the sides of the paper aren't as interesting as diagonals. You might want to make that horizon line more diagonally tweaked.

@Marsha-Kay-Ottum-Owen this one was a bit challenging for me mainly because I tried doing 1 point perspective in photoshop but you should practice this at least one hour a day from Ernest Norling Perspective Made Easy book.

@elisemc I will some more figures in this piece so maybe it'll give it a more dynamic look.

Revisiting this illustration. Giving it the Black Dynamite-Sin City appeal to it.

Hey Durrell, nice looking work there. I like your drawing and the black and white treatment.
One thing to consider though in terms of content. It looks like a shoe ad because that foot is SO dominant in the scene. I'm a fan of cool perspectives, but not if the overall intent of the work is lessened because of it.
So if you are selling a new tread design, etc. then I would stick with this. Otherwise think about what you want to say about your character and adjust as needed. : )

@Lee-White Thanks. Once I add color hopefully I could make the less when I add it. I kinda went by the feeling, lol.
My client supposedly want to portray himself like a Constantine type character sitting alone while angels and demons wage war. Which I'll add later.
Also a big fan of your "How to Make Money" courses and your work.

I like the strong graphic style of this. I'm looking forward to seeing all the details you describe, it sounds really epic.
-
Here's what the point I've gotten to so far not too much to go hopefully.

Awesome stuff man, really liking the bold shadows. Stoked to see it in color!
