SNDBOX commissioned me to create illustration for The Creative Crypto magazine.
In this article is a video that Michael and Kirk talk to each other with a glass of Bourbon. I had to make an illustration for this .
How it was made.
I was looking for a moment in the video that depicts this conversation.
I've saved more pictures. I took care of these:
It is communicated by the image that a dialog is happening here. Equal partners. Give back the mood that Bourbon means.
That is why I paid attention to the following:
Their posture, their facial expressions, gestures, body language.
I saved several frames. I'll show you some.
These explain how I selected.
Let's see the pictures I picked up from:
Not bad, but Michael is not active.
This is better. Michael is active, Kirk is also interested. It shows the mood of a real pleasant conversation. But I miss the Bourbon atmosphere. :)
Michael seems very active compared to Kirk.
Not bad. It's a real Bourbon dialogue. But Kirk's posture is a bit backward.
TADAAAAAM !!! :)
This is it! Perfect, balanced postures. Both parties act as equal partners. We have the Bourbonos atmosphere. :)
Let's start work!
For a portrait, use the lines carefully on the face. If there are many lines on the face, the person seems older.
I drew Michael's face easily.
The quality of the video was not too high, so in some details I had to improvise with Kirk. Several times I had to correct her mouth and eyes.
The rest of the body was not that difficult. I drew it.
The next step is the coloring.
I will write about this in my next post.
Thanks SNDBOX! :)
