From the course: Creative Inspirations: Ron Crabb, Digital Illustrator

Introduction

(instrumental music) - It's just a great way to do art. Because your goal in art is just to create, at least it is for me. It's like, I've got an idea, I want to get it front of people. I'm going to use whatever tools I can find that I can do that with. It's almost, for me, like it was cheating, you know? It's like, okay, they can't tell it's straight, I can. Well, I'm just going to use that. I'm not going to try to be them. At a very, very early age, I was just sucking this stuff up, you know, and memorizing it. And how does that feel, and what's that look, and the light coming through frozen ice on a creek. And that it has to look real. There's this little fine line between having it look painted and then just bumping it over to where it looks real. They didn't want any one specific look, but they wanted to have the exotic kind of Middle Eastern feel, let's not really define too much where that is. And actually, this was another, it was just kind of as I was going thing, I decided to add some facial tattoo things to her because the whole idea of this category of my art was to create illustrations from a story that is implied, that I don't really talk about. I leave that up to the viewers. (instrumental music)
