NPR Style

Dave R

Yes. I was thinking I should have drawn a line at ground level on the right.

I like it.

Sharp crisp lines and soft shadows.

Dave R

Thanks Pete. I'm liking the soft shadows. They are so easy.

boofredlay

Another winner indeed.

Dave R

Thanks Eric.

Here's a cropped version of it.

And after running it through FotoSketcher again.

Dave, you are the master of styles!

Dave R

Thanks Dale. Too bad I'll never get rich off it.

Richard

Dave! I freakin LOVE IT! One of the nicer styles I've seen in a long time!!!!

Dave R

Thank you Richard.

So I need to stop eating pepperoni and anchovy pizza with Buffalo wings and cheap beer right before I go to bed. I dreamed up a simple animation to show assembling the first image. I was too lazy this morning to make the layers fly in and lay one on top of the other.

You know, it's probably the cheap beer that does it. I ought to drink better stuff.

FWIW, the animation was created in SU and VirtualDub.

Sorry about the advertising. I disabled advertising but it is still playing it at least for me.

Daniel

Great looking style you've created, Dave.

Dave R

Thanks.

Which is better? Before or after the second run through FotoSketcher?

SketchUpNoobie

These are great styles, as always Dave.

Well, in my opinion, they're two different styles and you might use them for different purposes. However, I love how the first one is sketchy, and yet so clean.

boofredlay

I agree they are two different styles but if I had to choose I like the second one better.

Dave R

So we have a consensus.

Thanks guys.

boofredlay

I would not mind having both in my tool belt.

Daniel

If I had to choose between the two, I'd go with the first as it is cleaner and simpler.

Bryan K

I remember actually doing ink on canvas and thick paper. This is so true to the original technique it's almost scary!

Looks great!

Ben Ritter

Very nice indeed. Kudos.

Richard

Vote 1 for 1!

I like the cleanliness of it, I find images that are too dirty to distract from the cause - showing the subject.
