My homage to the great city of Los Angeles during the Film Noir era. Before the city’s skyline was forever changed by the 1960’s Downtown L.A. building boom. Although there are many different types of architecture in Los Angeles, in my opinion its Art Deco architecture is the most impressive. Not every jewel of Deco architecture here is represented. I left out some just because the level of detail on some of the buildings would’ve doubled the size of this illustration.
Art Deco Los Angeles will be available on Etsy soon.
Here is the Value study for Art Deco Los Angeles. I left a couple of Art Deco giants out such as the Bullocks Wilshire building because the composition got a little complicated. I might have to ad the Wiltern theater, though I’m not exactly sure where I’m going to put it. Los Angeles is such a large city, it’ll take me a little while to quench my thirst to illustrate it. I’ll be posting a picture of the color file as it becomes available.
For my first post, I thought I’d start off with my Tea for Two Series. I simply love having a good cup of tea with my wife. The Green and the Purple illustration were done in gouache. The Blue Green Black illustration was done in CS5.
