jeffbo Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 Not sure if this pertains to vinyl exclusively, but post art you've drawn for bands! Doesn't matter what band, doesnt matter if its drawn either I guess, I just would like to see. I'm working on my bachelors in illustration currently and I want my thesis to pertain to music in a way. This might help a bit Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kriss Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 I do poster art for shows for bands in the Chicago garage rock/punk scene when I get the chance. Not so much in the last month or so due to other stuff, but yeah: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kriss Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 Cassie's stuff is beyond amazing. Makes me wonder if I should stop doing everything by hand and start adopting a more modern approach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeffbo Posted December 27, 2011 Author Share Posted December 27, 2011 I guess I shouldve just asked for a general illustration/art thread. Were all into music more than the average person, id just like to see how that affects the work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edgedestroys Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 Only one of these is technically for a band but here. Have some doodles and stuff. Lot of people have seen this already but poster I did for Deadhorse. Teaser image I did for a zombie webcomic I was going to start that I'm never going to finish because I'm lazy and have more important things to focus on. If I haven't already made my rampant fanboyism of Dead Space clear... Cover for an ambient horror album I made a year or so ago. Cover for an electro/dubstep/etc album I just put out. This is more design/photomanip than illustration but I really dig it so yeah. Lyric art I did based on Where Two Bodies Lie by Moving Mountains. Again, more design than actual drawing involved with this but I really like it. I work on stuff basically all the time but I'm overly critical of a lot of it. I'll have to dig around and see what I have that I like enough to post other than these. I have a few more things linked in my sig and I just started a lyric typography blog if anyone digs crap like that (more stuff like that moving mountains thing). http://typographybreakdowns.tumblr.com/ PS: Goddamn Allison those are A+++ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edgedestroys Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 Thanks, and no problem. Jake is a MASSIVE inspiration to me. I've loved the shit out of his work since I first got Jane Doe and Frail Words Collapse back in high school. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
user456 Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 Appreciate the nice feedback everyone Kriss, it's nice to experiment with different techniques but whatever makes you comfortable is always best. Some artist prefer to illustrate with traditional materials and then scan into their program of choice. I prefer to illustrate everything right into Illustrator with my tablet. I still love to illustrate with traditional materials, but I find this way is much faster for merchandise work etc. Let's keep this thread rolling! Here's an Christmas present I made for my guy because he loves Breaking Bad and tattoos. http://cassiepodish.tumblr.com/#14343623901 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paint Tool Sai and Photoshop for me. Still prefer my Intuos to paper right now though. I've actually been working with my tablet for so long that I'm completely out of practice traditionally and all of my supplies I've stocked up on just sit around. Kinda a shame considering I have a ton of Copic markers. :/ This was pretty much the only traditional thing I really did worth posting like. All year. Got really bored while I was working at that telemarketing place and decided to turn an anatomy practice sketch into a zombie self portrait ...thing? Crap quality photo because I've been too lazy to screw with scanning it from my sketchbook. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could I retain a moderate degree of the detail I already have in my stuff by supplementing with a tablet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mostly use this model: http://www.amazon.com/Bamboo-Silver-Tabl....07997&sr=8- 110 I prefer the smaller tablets, not sure why. It just feels a lot more comfortable for me. Your work does contain a lot of detail but honestly you shouldn't have a problem achieving the same results with a tablet. It will probably take some time to get comfortable with the tablet pen but you can get the same effects as a pen on paper. I would even suggest you use a custom brush for your effects...it could save a lot of time. I use a custom brush for my stippling. Like in the Circa Survive butterfly (above). Certainly it's not at the same level of detail you use but you get the idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edgedestroys Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 @Kriss I totally back Wacom, that's what I use. I have an Intuos4 but I lost the pen so I'm using my old Intuos3 right now. The Intuos4 has 2048 levels of pressure sensitivity which basically means it can detect a lot of minute details and strokes more easily but it's also $200 so you may want to start with a cheaper model just to get started with. In all honesty I've gone from using their Graphire models to Bamboo to Intuos and the difference in pressure levels hasn't made too much of a difference to me other than going from something with only 512 directly to 2048, then it's somewhat noticeable but for a starter one I think you'd be okay with a Bamboo. Also yeah, I prefer smaller tablets, I'm too lazy to make pen strokes that are the size of my desk. I like being able to do quick wrist movements since that helps keep inking/line work cleaner and that's way easier to do on smaller tablets.

kriss Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 @cassiep and edgedestroys: The Wacom linked is just a pad sans screen though - is it awkward to translate drawing on physical paper to drawing on a pad while looking at a disconnected screen at the same time? Seems like it'd be disorienting. I'd like to try my hand at a tablet that is basically the screen self contained so that I can travel with it if I want to like I do with my physical paper pads.

Most of the time I sketch right into Illustrator with my tablet. I'll sketch in a light blue and then lock that layer and continue. If I have a piece that I did with traditional materials I'll scan it, reduce the opacity, and trace over that. So, I'm looking at just my screen when I work. I've never used a screen tablet before so I can't really speak first hand on how those perform. But I know some people do prefer them because they are closer to using traditional materials. Those types of tablets are on the pricey side, and I don't know of any that are portable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
