First Thoughts - 'Neal Adams'

After making a late start on this project due to illness, I've started off by making the decision of what artist to research.

After reviewing the work of all of the selectable artists, the ones that stood out for me personally were Banksy, who I've been a fan of for a long time, and also Neal Adams.

I really like Neal Adam's work. A cartoony, but almost life like style that stays true to the human form. I believe that if I used this style of art, I could produce good work, with a lot of options of different routes to take. The serious route or comedic. As the brief states that we must interpret our style into the image, I know that I'll most likely be creating a humourous image, as it suits my personality far better.


Back in 2007, I competed an art project for AS level that included cartoon like drawings in the same sort of style. During the course of the project I learned a lot of techniques I believe could prove useful towards this assignment, including drawing techniques as well as Photoshop techniques.

I shall use my time to study and use the work of Neal Adams to help bring this project to completion. As for the quote that I shall use, I will decide on it later when I truly understand the style of the work, and discover in what way I can use it to best the outcome of the final image.

I shall post some image work produced shortly.
