Ok, I’m more or less stuck with this Hergé -style of drawing, but at lest the subject of my picture is original (non-Tintin world of my own). The location: Tapiola in Espoo, Finland. Cars: ´57 Oldsmobile 88 Holiday & ’61 Cadillac DeVille Town Sedan. Even today Tapiola still has this 60s architectural style and feel and it inspires me – worth a visit anytime. This work was drawn in Photoshop.
I’ve always been a Tintin fan and admired the graphic style of the comic books and the art of Hergé. I made my own tribute to the great artist by drawing a typical early 20th Century building in Helsinki, Finland (the exact address is 11 Liisankatu). I did the entire picture using Photoshop, first creating a black pen-like drawing using a small hard brush and then colouring the image. Then I added typography and the rest of the elements to create the illusion of a cover art.
I’ve always been a fan of the graphic style of Herge, the creator of those Tintin cartoons and this Illustrator work of mine is made slightly imitating his style.
