Also disliked indoor and outdoor perspective jobs with furniture or architectural details....again tedious. Artists like Fawcett seemed to thrive on that sort of thing. I took shots locally on most Chevy ads. Also on Mercury cars at a Concord dealership. Can't remember on those Dodges....but being single cars, photo distortion was welcome. Not so welcome when a car had to fit into a scene with roads, people, buildings, etc.Charlie Allennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7064869808377826774.post-90325501669824209982009-09-08T23:59:40.008-07:002009-09-08T23:59:40.008-07:00Charlie, the Burgie ad illustration reminds me a l...Charlie, the Burgie ad illustration reminds me a little of the Galli, Bomberger look.. using primarily yellows with accents of blues and greens. Anyway, it reads well, and as usual, very professional looking. When you did cars in ads, did you have shots in your file, or take photos of cars in just right position, or did you have to do some reconstructing the angles and perspective? Figures, I could draw a lot faster than cars or backgrounds of buildings, or a room full of furniture, or complicated machinery, etc. Working out the perspective accurately for a literal illustration was usually a chore, and rarely given enough time.. it was also tedious for me! You make it look easy, never a bobble.<br /><br />Tom WatsonTomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13237565169344311948noreply@blogger.com
