Illustration Friday: Red


Red carries with it many meanings. Red is drama, risk, determination, and passion, but unfortunately, too much red can backfire.

Oooh, I can sense the tension here....but they look so nice and all dressed for a date. Hopefully they'll kiss and make up. Love the border!

Great take with a little bit different angle! Your characters are very expressive in a very simple way- nice job!!

Really great! I love the way you presented the characters, I love the combination of red and grey and I really like the background pattern.

Nice tension Angela. This is a kick arse piece!

There's been a crap load of drama in my life lately. Fortunately I'm just a bystander for the most part. But it sucks choosing sides.

Oh, and I'm so much more fun than this guy on a date. :)

Stay cool in Chi-town, -a.

I know the heart in the background is breaking and there is tension in the space between their shoulders, but they haven't turned their backs on each other yet. They're kind of leaning in, still connected. I think things will work out!

Whew, thanks for the therapeutic moment, Angela. The mood is strong in this piece, the kind of mood that goes beyond lines on paper (or pixels of light on ... cathode ray tubes.)

This is a great illustration. I love your characters, the textures and the colors. How do you do your pieces? Drawn and then colored in Photoshop? Whatever you're doing it looks really neat. I loved the last piece too. Lots of texture.

Pickledog said...

The composition is super! I like the broken heart shape framing the characters. Their expressions and body positioning are perfect.

Oh - I really love this one. Great framing and the way you did the clothes and hair. Your illustrations always have such wonderful colors and patterns.

Roz Foster said...

Heh. Super expressions on these folks' faces--body language, too. I love the way the suggestion of a heart in the frame of this looks like a growing fissure... Super, Angela.
