Bear naked... except for the hat and tie.


Am I big fan of Yogi Bear? No.
Am I bored? A little.

I'm getting the drawing bug again. I thought I'd continue on with the faux paper cut studies I did of Superman, Batman and the Flash, which you can find here and here.

I took it a little farther and allowed myself to use curved lines, but only on the background. Once I had the basic illo done, I took the whole thing into Photoshop and really saturated the colours to give the piece a soft backlit look.

The goal is to try and get primitive with the shapes and still capture the essence of the subject. I don't think I got primitive enough, but it's kind of hard when your image is something that has already been ecomomized in design.

Maybe I can get more primitive with Fred and Barney. Pun intended.

You should design a line of classroom bulletin board art! You could create hanging shapes, borders, posters---teachers LOVE that stuff! Ooh---maybe with a "You too can be a superhero...READ" theme or something! Then you could sell in online and make a small fortune!!!!
Just a thought. : )
