Illustration Friday-Green
Click image for a larger view.
This is my entry for IF's topic, "Green". I created this specifically for the challenge. I thought of my idea, took a photograph of my hands holding a jar, drew the shapes in Freehand, and compiled with some textures in Photoshop. I think this is pretty good, but I think I want to rework this and push it even further. Do you have any ideas?
Kind regards to all!
Scott

Wow, what's in that jar?! It looks like something dangerous, I wouldn't want to go near it... I keep loving your illustrations. In this case, the only thing I'm not fond of is the very linear backgound, but I guess that has to do with personal taste - the image is very effective all the same.
Great! Love this style scott!
maybe some cast shadows. great work on the hands
Very cool and different, Scott. Mysterious also. I always like to read about your technique.
always love your stuff fantastic
wow, definitely unusual. i like the shapes you used for the vapor (for lack of a better term). perhaps working those shapes outward into the background. your anatomy is improving also. keep it up!
The way you used the green in the illustration is powerful. It hints at danger an poison.
The only thing I would work at is the background. Does it need to be smooth or done in some way that complements the subject? Perhaps it needs to be toned back in some way. At any rate, it would be a very minor change. It's great the way it is.
I agree with Kevin. It's great the way it is. But, if you did something different with the background, it might highlight the foreground even more.
Always great stuff, Scott. I like the use of only 2 tones of green. As for the background, I think the above comments are right. How about if the lines spiraled out?
scott. this is very nice. i agree with the others that the only thing i would change would be the background. i think the 'rays' compete with what's happening in the foreground. maybe just a solid color? with some texture in it? or a wash?
anyway, really great illo.
Very good! I love it!!! Looks like poison.
Very cool! It's always interesting to hear how people created their work. Thanks for sharing!
Really nice mix of illustration and design. Love it!
Nice rendition of your hands, cool green smokey stuff... Have a good one....
I don't have any suggestions. I like the background. I was wondering about the jar, though. Does it say "fresh", as in fresh air? Cool idea, and great picture! Thanks for your suggestion on my post. I took your advice, and Felipe is now purple :]
OHH I like it!!!
aladin's lamp? great work, really well done... I like the delicate colours balance.
This style is going well! My only thought would be to add a little more contrast between the background and the hands, but I really like it as is.
Very good work! Nothing to change.
Beautiful - and I see a meaning: In my opinion it's "spring" in the jar. Changes? Maybee the "spring smoke" could get some shadows?
Thanks a lot for your comment to my exhibition - yes, it's very good to "go for the real world" too...
I love the way that you did the hands.
I think this is quite nice. I like the linear background. It's nice when it constrasts the very organic swirls coming from the jar. The simplicity of the over-all piece is also really stunning. Good work as always!
You just gave me an awesome idea.. like if this jar had kriptonite..and kriptonite is green..too bad I already drew my illo for the week! :) awesome work as always!
Hi Scott,
Thanks for commenting on my Picasso blog. This looks like a wintergreen scent in a bottle. Cool!

Releasing the color green, I like that idea, love the hand series.
I really like it and nothing stands out that needs changing to me. I love the soft layering and textures. It's a very nice piece.
There are two possibilities... You should NOT eat what's in there....Or you can make 3 wishes...Hhehehe! :)
I like it! You need to put a little green monster in there and call it "Fart in a jar". It would be awesome. You could enter it into moji war.
Love the design!! beautiful!!
I'm really enjoying your HANDS series. I know you use photo reference, but to me they look inspired by classic Japanese figures' hands. Check out the hands in Hokusai's woodblock prints.
really nice graphic shapes and lovely colors!
I think of limes and lemons while looking at this piece, my mouth waters. Intrigueing and cool illo!
I think this would be interesting from a different perspective as well, seeing the palms of the hands and the fragrance flowing towards the viewer, with just a hint of the interior of the jar.
Great illio. Love the shades of green.
Thanks, yeah I liked the movie. Especially the Da Vinci tie-in.
drawing hands is one of the most challenging despite its simplicity.. for me.. well the texture in your work is nice already.. maybe let me suggest a dash more of shadow.. oh well im more into dark things. lol..
but as i said your entry is nice and would wanna come back again next week to see whats next..
This is fantastic! I don't have any suggestions, it's a great illo!
genie in a bottle? its got a very nice feel.. both pieces...
I really like this one!! for me this background is just great, like it more than the second one! Love the color scheme and white hands!!
I didnt saw it as poison coming out of the jar, for me it was something magical!!
I believe that when you use pale colors or white for the skin of your characters your illos look much more interesting and rich! but thats my particular taste I guess... and I supose you used normal skin color for the snap series becouse you wanted something more commercial right?
Thanks for your comments on my illos :) Any suggestions on mine are also very welcomed!!
very, very, very beautifull. My eyes says "thank you !"
i love the ideas and colours!!!
