Sparky Flyer, Final without words

This is the final Sparky Flyer without words. This will be available as a large print and in 8 1/2 by 11 sizes. The next stage is to choose the font for the words and add them to the project. If you wish to see the development of the piece, check out the previous posts below.

Sparky Flyer Colourwork

I changed the name to the Sparky Flyer because I intend to put words on the picture and find the Y is more artistic in many typefaces than the I and adds more visual interest. This picture is the image without the lines and shows how much colourwork, shadow and details that I used in its making. I paint with shape and colour using illustrator because I find it more graphic and precise.

Sparkie flier under development

Here is one of the stages of development of the drawing for Sparkie's Flier. When I make a drawing I try to build it up from shapes that look like they might actually work. Rather than making a flat drawing I make it up of 3-dimensional appearing shapes. I also do this with my characters to bring more depth and weight to the drawings. All done in illustrator with a mouse. More changes do take place as I add the pilot.
