tell an untold story. artist research.

FRANK MILLER.

as my book is based on a fox at night i realise that one of my challengers would be to make the pallet of colour and to use certain techniques to show that its based in the night.

iv always had a love for frank miller i love how he uses the negative tones to express light and dark even with his known comics you can tell night from day just by the selected areas of tone and negative space, and thats with working with two colours  

here you can tell the room is dark but the open for as let in light by the solid shapes of colour and the angle of some shadow work. he even leaves suggests detail using solid shape such as the blood on the bed. this is one technique i feel i could use to show that my book is based in the night.

ill use limited shades of colour and use them in a solid shape to express detail, enough to voice the object or scene.

DAVID FOLDIVARI

again this artists uses shape to express detail or an object. the silhouette  of the jacket and tie gives enough information for me to see that its a jacket and tie, no use of out line or blatant detail.

the different tones of shade with in the face gives it depth and expression. this is something i like to show in my own practice and feel this technique would be good in my book not only for personality of the book but will be a challenge to develop that using shades in the dark.

also theres information in the hair and the facial hair using easy line work but its super effective. i feel the need to push line work in my practice to move forward.
