Jay's Illustration of Life
Gotta new documented process of my traditional paintings. It was a quick demo I did this Fall quarter at SCAD. The students have to do some sort of "manimal" (part human part animal) This is what you get when Yaritza Burgos (AKA "Bumblebee Man" from the Simpsons) gets a "Bee Movie" body and finds a job.
Prismacolor Pencil transfer to Strathmore Illustration Board. 10" x 7.5" image area. Taped off with Blue Safe Release tape.
Acrylic and Ink base colors. Watercolor was used for the clouds that I don't have a picture for.
Oil wash made with Dioxane Purple and Permanent Green Light thinned with Gamsol.
Dried oil wash removed with kneaded eraser revealing highlights and unifying shadows.
Final flatbed scan color corrected with touched off with digital signature.
Before yours and her very eyes

Made this little video of one of my many painting methods. Painting was created with acrylic, watercolors, an oil wash, Prismacolor pencils, and gesso in about that order.
Video was created with iPhoto 11' slideshow. Limiting options but works OK. Real easy once you do it once right. This was my first time doing the slideshow.

Busy Bumblebee - Process
Gotta new documented process of my traditional paintings. It was a quick demo I did this Fall quarter at SCAD.

Oil wash made with Dioxane Purple and Permanent Green Light thinned with Gamsol.
Dried oil wash removed with kneaded eraser revealing highlights and unifying shadows.
Prismacolor pencil details. and color shifts in certain areas.
Final flatbed scan color corrected with touched off with digital signature.
Details reveal lots of great texture and variations in colors.
Whole process took about 8 hours, but not all at once.

Decathlon Poster Process
New work!
A 16" x 20" poster I did as part of a demo for my Adobe Illustrator class a Portfolio Center. I just finished it today. I thought it turn out pretty good. Whada you think?
I then copied certain grouped areas from Illustrator into a Photoshop document and created a series of Smart Object layers. Then I added various textures in the layers masks of the Smart Object layers.

This part was done in Adobe Illustrator CS4.
I then copied certain grouped areas from Illustrator into a Photoshop document and created a series of Smart Object layers. Then I added various textures in the layers masks of the Smart Object layers.
The result is a the marriage of Illustrator and Photoshop. The best of both worlds.
I love texture!!
