Sunset
The Black Shadowed Barn was inspired by the amazing illustrater Eric Orchard’s drawing of a black Hill on his Shadow Talker page 1 .After seeing it, I wanted to throw a lot of black into my next strip. When I visit Eric Orchards site It makes me want to learn and perfect my craft more. his work is so confident and well crafted that I always walk away impressed .
The other influence for this strip was a painting of a sunset by Group of Seven artist Lawren Harris. When I saw the painting I thought, AHHH a sunset that’s a good way to let me use a lot of black shadow in this strip. So that’s how it came together!
Awesome strip, very powerful. I love it, nice job Don, Eric Orchard and Lawren Harris… 🙂
Yeah, sunsets are powerful and you did a great job with this strip Don.
Lately you’ve been doing great recommendations! this Eric Orchard artist is very talented, he kind of remind me a mexican artist Tony Sandoval, I think he has similar style with Eric, check his site and tell me what you think about.
