      So after that portfolio webinar and the draw 50 things challenge, I was wondering--what are your FAVORITE examples of illustrations that include lots of things or characters? I thought it would be nice to have a collection to go through that shows it done well.

      I'll just drop one here by a favorite illustrator of mine, James C. Christensen... I think the image might be a link since I'm using the URL to post it.

      What illustrators/illustrations do you think do this well?

                      I'm going to contribute one of my late-childhood favourites - the crowd scenes from Dinotopia by James Gurney:

                      0_1487457489422_dinotopia1_0001-copy2.jpg

                      The following piece is a good example, I think, of using value to calm down areas of an image - the third running dinosaur and the structures in the background would make it far too cluttered if he didn't lighten it up, and it gives a real sense of depth and atmosphere too. I never get tired of looking at all the details...
