Just a quick one today- I can only take partial credit anyway, since I was mopping up for another artist who started the project but was not available to finish it. ย Really though, they should have just called me in the first place!
Maybe they needed a slower artist, to, I dunno, take his time sharpening his pencils or something. ย He was a graphite-on-paper kinda guy, and thus I had to match his drawing style best I could, so they could salvage the work he did that didn’t need revising. ย Frankly, it would have been faster and looked better if I just redrew it all in my own style, but I know better than to say that to clients. ย I do have the advantage of having digital drawing tools that can mimic pencil/paper textures.
Luckily, the spot was pretty simple and solid, conceptually. ย A pretty lady lays out her fresh bedspread, walks to the window, opens the drapes and (with the help of a Glade plug-in air freshener nearby) is aromatically uplifted into a soaring sensoral cloudscape on the backs of countless weightless doves.
Here’s the boards I drew for the project, and you can see the pencil-on-paper look I tried to achieve, and I think it works.
And here’s the final spot.
Thats all! ย See you next week.
