Buffalo run!
-
@mattramsey @Will-Terry - No this isn't for 3rd Thursday, though I had thought about it but decided against it for the same reasons you point out Matt. This was just a midnight inspiration
-
I like it! I like that he's running out of the picture
-
@natiwata Loving the drama of this piece. There's a real sense of panic. I love the suggestion by @Lee-White but it looks like it's bucking rather than charging. I'm looking forward to seeing the finished concept.
-
@natiwata I like this image as well. I look forward to seeing it finished.

@mattramsey I recall in one of the videos on SVS (not sure which course as they are starting to blur together) one of the instructors mentioned that literally illustrating what is written by the author is not the best approach and that some of the most successful picture books actually illustrate the events after what is written providing more information that the text alone originally provided. With that understanding I think we can be more flexible in our illustrations. I would be curious what @will-terry or @lee-white thinks.
-
@seanwelty it was Lee White in his Visual Storytelling Techniques class who talked about illustrating the events after what the text indicates...and this certainly does exactly that. It is a wonderful sketch @natiwata!
-
Great idea and composition! Look forward to seeing it progress.
-
Update! Got this far with rendering over a couple evenings, still going to add a hot dog cart where the gray box is on the right...
-
It looks amazing! I loved the sketch, so it's great to see the coloured version - the sunlight and contrast with the shadows is really effective. Also the sky blue as focal point. Really nice!
-
I really like that you left the buffalo forward. Priceless action and reaction here!
-
Nice work! I love the subtle yet effective use of color, and the reaction is awesome xD
