Tractor

[Steve Hubbartt]

Hi Everyone!

Did this a couple of months back - lots of fun! Didn’t post it as I wasn’t happy with ‘something’. Had another look - maybe it’s the shadow... I’m still not sure. Any suggestions are more than welcome.

Very Nice... Being from an area with a little dirt, I think it might of needed a little. It is sitting in a field but looks showroom new...

Nice drawing with loads of detail included but I think the sharp contrast between the tractor and the tyres draws my eye to the tyres first before the tractor itself. Why not try a few bleached transparecies and see how that looks?

Nice Tractor.

Hi Steve,

I think it is great. The only thing that seems odd is the shape of the far side fender.

Great drawing! What I'd like to suggest is that you significantly darken the shadows associated with the engine and under the bonnet. (Around here they call the 'hoods' or cowlings of farm vehicles 'bonnets' -- we are strange here).

I also note that the soil seems to have a slight greenish tint that seems strange to me. (Our Island soil here is a actually red)!

Great illustration. It has a wonderful simplicity to it while still having many details. Normally I would agree with the "needs more definition" comments but in this case the muted colors really work well. I think more contrast would change the mood of the illustration to its detriment.

Oh, and Soquilli... the fender is actually correct. The inside sweep of those tractor fenders causes a peak effect when you look across the curve. It could be argued that this might be a time to "lie" visually, that's a matter of taste, but that is how they appear.

Thanks for sharing Steve.
