Here’s one of the beach sketches from my previous post… in color!
About Lee-Roy
I’m a Story Artist and Illustrator living in Los Angeles with my wife, daughter, and three cats. In my earliest memory, I am drawing a picture. Three decades later, the picture is still being drawn. It’s one I never want to finish.
My Threadless Designs!
Nice. Did you take notes on the colors you observed at the beach, or was this from memory?
Thanks Randy. I didn’t take any notes. I don’t know if I got the colors exactly right, but this is more or less how I remembered them. I think the canopy thing had green stripes, the chest under it was red, the chair was yellow and the parasol was white and orange. As for the rest of it, I pretty much guessed or did what I thought worked. When it came to coloring the many tents and parasols way in the background, I referred to a photo, but I didn’t follow it exactly. I just looked at some of the many colors in my photo and put them together the way I wanted. I colored it in Photoshop.
Cool. It’s very lovely. Have you seen this site:

it’s fun to play around with.
Thanks! I saw that before, yeah. But I haven’t really explored it very much in depth. It seems interesting, though. The color-blindness simulation is a neat function. Makes me wonder how some of my color artwork would look to those folks.
Gah! This is gorgeous!
I’m both inspired and disgusted–with myself, lol!
I love the style of this…man.
Thank you, Jenny! Though, disgusted with yourself? Don’t be ridiculous! You’re stuff is great! Thanks so much for stopping by.
Fantastic Beach sketch in colot! I’m digg’in your stuff!
Thanks, Gerald! Dig away!
