Artist Librares
Over the past few weeks we have looked at a few different artist:
John Berkey has an amazing sense of light. He is able to create amazingly detailed and almost realistic looking ships using easily recognizable shapes and lines of color. He has a firm understand of lighting, contrast and color theory and I will definitely be looking at his stuff for my personal growth.
Boris Vallejo has a fantastic understanding of anatomy and of the artists we have looked at so far, his forms are the most highly rendered. His pieces have very clear focal points, (normally a dynamic scene) and his backgrounds, while beautiful, do not interfere with the focal point of the image. The only times I saw him add more background matter was to convey a specific scene.
The final artists looked at here is Frank Frezetta. Frezetta and Vallejo have very, very similar styles. and it was exciting to see the similarities and differences of each and where they inspired each other. Vallejo's characters feel more highly rendered and Frezetta's seem to have more life. I prefer how Vallejo uses color but Frezetta has a slightly messier style and dynamism that I prefer and would love to be able to mimic.
