Homage

My favorite piece by Downton. His use of straight and erratic brush strokes to define contours and characters I'd something I've tried.. and failed at a hundred times!

Using a soft edge on the brush gave the piece an aura, but couldn't beat the thick wet brush strokes of the original.

David Downton has been a personal hero since Uni. Phenomenally technical and methodical selection of colours and brushes in his work. Descriptive but simple. I love beautiful simplicity.  

Here I used his pieces to replicate on the IPad. The brush and color selection seemed perfect for SketchPro plus..
