 Color version of a drawing from some years ago.

Alfred Hitchcock Portrait

Last weekend I was doing a quick line drawing portrait of Alfred Hitchcock, for practice, cause you gotta kept them skills up, and I thought, why not add some color. So I did and this is what the final looks like. Done on my iPad Pro using ProCreate.

Being a bit of life long Cinephile, I got used to seeing certain names in the credits on old movies and new movies. I'm a fan of so many directors and cinematographers, designers, etc... it's a long list.

So over the pandemic I started to revisit old movies and some more current ones. I'll get on a jag and see several from one director or star and then switch over to others as the last few years went by.

Hitchcock was one of those directors that had very long resume of movies. Some in black and white, others in color. Over all he was one of the masters of building tension and keeping the eye of the viewer on the movie till the very end. I don't think he relied on much in the way of special effects until his film "North by NorthWest" which is a stunning movie. Quite the visual treat, albeit static when viewed by today's standards of special effects.

Definitely worth checking out.

Bear Picture Book End Papers

The publisher came up with a highly detailed color layout for the end papers of the book... it's going to take me a while to finish this since I'm doing it in the evenings and a bit on the weekends. (I have an art day job.) This is the first stage. I have a lot to fill in here.
