I wanted a quick
way to create communicative pictures
that did not require large infrastructures or
logistics. I wanted to be able to create pictures while
sitting on an airplane, for example [at the time I was a bureaucrat
directing the EventScope Project]. This approach could be like a
”shorthand for illustration" that could use the portability of
my pocket notepad, but actualize ideas in a way that was closer to a
painting or graphic visualization.
After a period of experimentation, I came upon the right combination: -Create an initial drawing
in my
pocket sketchpad.
-Next, I would bring the pictures into Photoshop where I would colorize them using standard techniques used by comic book artists. |
