Artist's Comments

This summer while I was out in Brooklyn, I crashed at the house where my roommate was living while doing his internship. These are the fine folks and gracious hosts that I lived with while I was there -- from the top: Arthur, Tyler and Chaunté.

Thanks again you three, for making my stay comfortable, curious, and always entertaining.

Illustrator CS4

Edit: Thanks to LemonTea for a the DD!

Do you use AI brushes to get the furry/chalky texture on Arthur's hair, and Tyler's hair and stubble? I know you to be a man of mad skills, but I can't imagine even you getting such a fine, consistent textural quality with the pen tool ...

Great piece, though! Arthur looks like Orlando Bloom. And Chaunté reminds me of Marjane from Persepolis, for some reason.

No, I DEFINITELY make ample use of the chalk brushes in Illustrator.

You can compare likenesses here: Arthur ([link]) and Chaunte ([link])
