Apologies for the lack of creativity in the title, very tired haha!
So the next few posts will be focused on Vector Illustrators to help me with my current project. Here we go!
So the next few posts will be focused on Vector Illustrators to help me with my current project. Here we go!
This is an example of Tommy Penton's illustrations which focuses on buildings, (I thought it would be wise since our project focuses on architectural sketches and illustrations!)
I admire the attention to detail which Penton has included, as well as using accurate aspects of perspective on the building. Although the detail is amazing and creditable due to the bucket loads of patience Penton must have, one key characteristic I can see is that the lines have been drawn free hand, and they aren't totally straight. Whereas on the one hand, someone like me would freak out for it not being perfect, at the same time it gives a quirky and unique feature to the image as a whole, it seems to have an energy about it... who knew wavy lines could be so great?
I find this image of Penton's to be very interesting due to the intricate lines which have been incorporated. The image is somewhat left to the imagination as to what it is but what is clear, is that the image has been repeated three times and rotated 90 degrees per rotation. (If I were to guess what it was, I'd say maybe the blades on an electric whisk.)
What is consistent with these pieces is that Penton seems to favour pastel shades. I believe this is good as it makes images interesting, but the light shades don't overpower the detail, they seem to compliment one another.
Overall, I really admire his attention to detail as well as his ability to find appropriate colours to add energy without being too harsh on the mind or the eyes. It is these qualities that I could take inspiration from when doing my own work.

What have I learned from Penton? Sometimes imperfections are what makes an image perfect.
