For me there's nothing worse than when you see in the same piece an accurate tracing and then some freehand work that's way below in quality and probably a true indication of the artist's ability!<br />I'll be sure to keep tabs on this interesting blog.Keithnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18907156.post-8792669147881991082011-11-22T11:51:12.300-05:002011-11-22T11:51:12.300-05:00if you check out the Robert McGinnis Documentary L...if you check out the Robert McGinnis Documentary Last Rose of Summer you will see this technique by the master himself<br /><br />here is just the painting demo part without the sound<br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LXROu_KVznY<br /><br />at the 2:34 min mark you will see he moved his drawing shifting it from the photo to elongate the arm. he did this for other elements as well. as you can see the finish what McGinnis does best. <br />enjoy.<br />Mattmatt dickehttp://www.mattdicke.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18907156.post-92004189469303761152011-11-21T17:11:36.273-05:002011-11-21T17:11:36.273-05:00Keith; That's a great question -- I can imagi...Keith; That's a great question -- I can imagine why it might seem that way. But actually, its safe to say that these illustrators could draw like crazy - far better than just about any of can today. They used photo reference to speed up their process or help with tricky details... but no, they didn't actually trace the photos per se.<br /><br />Even if an illustration started with some photo ref being traced, these guys understood how the camera lens distorts proportions and had the chops to modify and revise the traced elements so everything would actually read "correctly."<br /><br />Being new to all this, I hope you'll come by regularly to learn more - and your comments would be very welcome!leifpenghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07232334860061949895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18907156.post-36051531397483302702011-11-21T15:27:07.546-05:002011-11-21T15:27:07.546-05:00I'm new to this area of illustration but I hav...I'm new to this area of illustration but I have a question.In the period when the SEP and Colliers were using this kind of realistic illustration were most illustrators literally 'tracing' their drawings from photos?

But having interviewed both Bernie Fuchs and his wife about the movie (back when I wrote a bio on him for Illustration Magazine) I can say with certainty that Fuchs definitely did not do these illustrations. My understanding was that many (if not all) of them were done by John McDermott (who wrote the original story, "Brooks Wilson, Ltd.) I gather that the originals were for sale at Illustration House Gallery in NY, signed "Brooks Wilson" but done by McDermott. It has been a long time. We'd have to double check with Illustration House to be sure.David Apatoffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11293486149879229016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18907156.post-2890868054022578442011-11-20T10:47:51.809-05:002011-11-20T10:47:51.809-05:00I don't know about the gallery paintings but t...I don't know about the gallery paintings but the illustration looks like Bernie Fuchs to me but a lot of folks were doing that style then.Joel Brinkerhoffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16367156808507565022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18907156.post-66815047685856826542011-11-19T21:21:45.388-05:002011-11-19T21:21:45.388-05:00The work used in the film looks so familiar.The work used in the film looks so familiar.Stan Shawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14027446150855414929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18907156.post-82588372213711190672011-11-19T21:21:05.845-05:002011-11-19T21:21:05.845-05:00It's interesting that they would decide to sho...It's interesting that they would decide to show him working with that great a detail and that much attention. I'm sure what would happen now would be to show some angle of the actors face and cut to a music video then show the actor lazing around.
