When I started drawing using stippling as a technique I started drawing hot air balloons. Ive never been in one, but seeing them in real life, in pictures, in clips: They are pretty cool, aesthetically beautiful and work great as a vehicle for aesthetic purposes.
When I made these two in 2021, all I wanted to do was dot and create something aesthetically nice to look at. I also wanted to test other ways of making the balloon. Until I made these, I typically made other choices regarding the balloon. I had never used stippling as a way to create texture for the balloon itself. I started working on them after Id finished “Into the Galaxy”.In a way, I enjoy the contrast of the sets. One in black and white, one in color.
I’m pretty happy with the results.
