AUTHOR: Monica Lee TITLE: Art Styles DATE: 6:42 AM ----- BODY:




There is an on going debate in this little studio in Massachusetts about medium and art. I wouldn't even say there is a debate about "style" necessarily. I really feel this debate is about medium. I have all these darlings above created in either a digital medium (for me it is ink and then colored in Photoshop) or the other post is done in watercolor. As I am preparing my licensing portfolio I have a consistent medium in the other lines I am creating but when it comes to any sort of fashion illustration I can't seem to stick to one look. I have experimented and I have even asked art directors to no avail, which is good I suppose that's means both mediums are being created successfully. I have such a soft spot for watercolor but I am not confident it will replicate onto a product well unless it is a paper product. My sister did mention that the digital girls could convey a bit more attitude which is probably what I need to have them do. I am going to design some cocktail darlings that need attitude! Your two cents is more than welcome.
On the other front I stumbled into a Dog Whisperer marathon of sorts and realized that I have to take my dog for longer walks. I do think it is funny how everyone in the house does agree that Maggie (my border collie) does needs walking so she doesn't get so crazed with her frisbee in our backyard but somehow I can barely get anyone to even come on a walk with us! This is probably a good thing I can shake off some of the Easter candy that I ate...let me see if I have cute pic of Maggie...Oh I do!
