Illustration Friday-I Spy
Click image for a larger view.
This is my entry for IF's topic "I Spy". Created today, Tuesday, specifically for the challenge. This one, plus the last two entries are becoming a series.
Thanks so much for the many great comments last week! It's awesome to receive them, and much appreciated!
This is one is done is the same style, which is new for me. After I conceive my idea, I create a quickish vector drawing in Freehand, then I print it out and I draw over it onto vellum...drawing quickly and on a somewhat rough desk. This is very unlike me usually. I then paint a background with acrylics and scan the two pieces into Photoshop where I tweak a bit, but actually not much.
These last three drawings I've tried to create a story. More specifically a story designed where you can help fill in the lines, by not telling too much. I think it's working. What about you, do you think it's working?
As always feedback of all sorts is welcome!

It's definitely working. You leave just enough for each viewer to make up their own story. Great texture and concept...keep 'em flowin!
I really like the direction these are taking, Scott-- you're definitely onto something!
I can see the story, at least the story that I could make up. I can see how it would be different for everyone. Great work. Your technique is definitely working out.
This illos are great!! Love the backgrounds, the colors, the whole look is really interesting and atractive!!
nice illo and interpetation of the theme

Great job - really nice illo.
Your images do tell a story, and I think it's wonderful that you let the viewers make it their own.
He has had in his pocession: scissors, chalk, chalk board, a chair and a little box, Oh I don't want to forget the wire, and he's had a chance to change into shorts,[by the way, he has nice legs], although i don't think his nice legs are an important part of the story , anyway. I don't have a story yet, just all these objects dancing in my head.
Fascinating work and love the style in this series!
Hey I really like this style you've developed. The roughness is great, and I love the mood it creates.
Really like this one, great job!
Congrats! Very beautiful one!
=)
Im appreciating your contributions and your subtle use of colour...
i think it's working great, Scott! visually and thematically. keep it going!
I specially like the perspective in this one and the colors you used. Great work! :) thanks for your comments :)
Yes, it is working! It's nice to see that you are enjoying this new style. It looks like you set yourself free! Congrats!
works for me, already looking forwad to next weeks edition!
Wow these are really great...the whole series works so well...And its amazing you can connect three completely random topics. Not quite sure what the story is for me, more a collection of feelings. :-D
I really like your new style. It has more feeling somehow in it. Maybe because of the textures. The story: there's a light shining through, that's always good isn't it? Maybe next week I'll get the whole story...
Like the texture of the background and the 'wonky' angles...
This is clearly drawn by a man who listens to a lot of Wham.
You fricken pervert.
I like the colors in this - its a very interesting combination of digital and uh, non-digital media.
Oh yes...it's working! i loved the style! thanks for visiting my blog!
And a great series!
Very interesting..the colours and ambience is just terrific! :)
I really like these last three pieces. I love the texture and the restrained use of color. There is definitely a story going on, but as you said... the viewr makes it his or her own. Your process is very interesting. It's a great melding of digital and traditional art. Keep on with this!
Nice work on his hands and feet. Great concept too.
Wonderful storytelling. Great composition and colour ... I really like this series of yours!
