Illustration Friday: Wind: Central Squared

Illustration Friday

Wind: Central Squared

In addition to creating new art, I also decided to adhere to the following self-imposed criteria:

Place the scene in the Central Square neighborhood of Cambridge MA
Not use cartooning's "motion lines"
Teach myself to use Corel Painter's watercolor tools
Refer to last week's "ghost" theme (I feel guilty for repurposing)
Get it done over the weekend

Now that it's finished, I think my color needs more planning and sophistication. Here's to getting more practice!

What the Heck is Illustration Friday?

Think of it as a voluntary, client-free playground for illustrators. A topic is posted every Friday morning. Participants from around the world create, post and share their interpretations.

No Client? Why Bother?

At this stage of my career, I need a weekly public exercise to draw anything at all.

Freshness Dating

Unless otherwise stated, my iFriday work is all-new, created soley for that week's theme. Other Freshness categories include:

Repurposed
Old art, lifted straight from the archives with no current modifications
Refurbished
Previously-viewed art, modified and enhanced for current times
Alt Theme
Past iFriday themes, presented when I have nothing for the current week's theme
