After talking to Alan about 1950s animation backgrounds, a style which apparently is called 'Shaggy', I tried replicating it in Illustrator. I'm not entirely thrilled by it, Illustrator is a tricky program to wrangle so I cut quite a few corners. Looking at it shrunk down I see that my intention of making sure no two lines were perfectly parallel may have gone a little overboard. Oh well, live and learn!
It made me stop by for a look, Meg! Although its a 2D world it looks 3D... I keep expecting a character to walk behind the table carrying some boxes :) looks fun
ReplyDeleteI like it! It could just be that you need to add a bit of texture to certain elements in the scene to break up the flatness.
