Illustration Friday - Night



















Well, THIS certainly isn't a view out of any of MY windows. In it's own way I think it makes the point that the sun is not "out." I lacked the patience to make the layers/washes as crisp and shapely as they could have been. Several hours is apparently my limit.

Oh gosh, I love this one. The colors are so vibrant and yet so welcoming. The blue just draws you in. Makes me want to go there!

i would never have the patience to add such detail to the beautifully glowing building against that velvet sky. beautiful work!

Oh wow that is such a nice piece. I admire your patience to work with traditional media, I personally don't have such patience.

I think this is splendid! The detail and the colors really do show that you've put time into this. It looks like Mont St. Michele to me, a place I found incredibly magical when I was was there so many years ago.

Great colors and details and I can definitely tell that the sun is not out. Looks like night to me.

nothing wrong with the outcome here. if you had created a crisper look, i think you would have hurt the illustration. you stopped where it needed to be stopped. it turned out great.

I like the whole concept- dark background [ for the night theme ] and colourful building. Amazing.
