2006-06-23 Illustration Friday — Rain<\/a>
Originally uploaded by royblumenthal<\/a>. <\/span><\/div>\n

This week’s Illustration Friday<\/a> topic is ‘Rain’. I’m drawing really fast at the moment, cos I’ve only got about an hour and a half before I need to get into my car and whizz off to the theatre.<\/p>\n

S, my girlfriend, is the understudy for the role of Scaramouche in WE WILL ROCK YOU, and she’s going on in the lead tonight. She was on last night too, but I wasn’t able to get a ticket.<\/p>\n

If I draw fast, I’ll get there on time. And I really want this pic finished and up before I drive off into the cold winter night in Johannesburg.<\/p>\n

This time I used two source photos as the basis for my drawing. <\/p>\n

The street scene is a pic titled ‘Restaurant in Venice<\/a>‘ by a photographer called maxbog. The dude comes from a pic called ‘model g09<\/a>‘ by girinath. I found both pics on stock.xchng<\/a>, a free online stock-photo library.<\/p>\n

I cobbled the two pics together in CorelDraw 10, then copied the pic into Alias Sketchbook Pro 2.0, where I did the drawing directly on the screen of my Toshiba Tecra M4 tablet pc.
