[♪ Everybody knows that the doodle's crappy, everybody knows that it's just a trace, everybody'd like to see a masterpiece, even if it's just a smiley face, everybody wants to be a Rasta, everbody needs a free Picassa or a few Van Goughs, everybody knows... ♪ ] I wanted to play with a feature of Illustrator that I've never used before ("live paint"), along with a method to do highlights and shadows. I was watching a music video of Concrete Blonde's version of the song Everybody Knows, and one shot showed one of the band members walking through an empty room of an old house with a low angle camera. It had a cool, distinctive mood. So I used that as a reference. I draw it freehand and then did some brush strokes for the person and used the pen tool for the curves and straight lines (I can't draw straight lines), and then used live paint mode to color the image and added some highlights and shadows. It all looks rather primative, but the rough design does sort of capture the idea of the original. And since my "sketch of the day" section is meant for quicker, less polished drawings, I think this qualifies. Also, this is probably the most effort I've spent on the pop-up/hover text for an image. images/Drawings/Sketches/everybody-knows.png
