RIP, Drew Struzan, one of the greats of illustration.
This was my attempt to copy his technique about 30 years ago.

The doc goes into his technique somewhat. I wish they had followed him all the way thru an illustration.

A few decades ago I tried to copy his technique (acrylic washes and color pencils) for this magazine cover.

They were painted fairly close together about 12 years ago. I go thru phases and paint the same subject repeatedly. Last year I went thru a sneaker period.

Thank you, you're very kind. 45 years as an illustrator will do that to you.

Thanks, this was a little 5x7" oil painting when I was still learning how to handle oil paints.
