graphicla digitalplei nair book designstudiopress comiccon robhruppel robhruppelart posted by robh 11 44 am 538 comments wednesday november 27 2013 pattern i ve been rethinking ideas about composition since seeing dan coles work he has a refreshing point of view he searches for patterns like no other in a way he breaks a lot of the conventional rules of image making but he does it so well that it makes you see the world differently which is always the goal of art isn t it so when i came across this boat in glendale i purposely looked for the pattern of the scene and not the deep space or dimensionality of it posted by robh 11 20 am 207 comments sunday october 27 2013 glendale tonality you know what i said last week about designing your color schemes about being intentful and having an idea behind it well i was in such a hurry to capture the tonality of this scene the way the bushes visually grouped observed by squin ting that i quickly blocked in my flat colors without getting a good design to them this really came back to bite me in the rear because those first colors and tones set up the rest of the image you can t really re jigger them you can t really bring design to where is none so while this has a nice tonality about it those first large color notes should have been better designed out posted by robh 9 20 pm 302 comments sunday october 13 2013 santa monica sidestreet color bars design those choices people process shots big tones first then build up colored squares with a little organized noise and the final easy just takes practice years and years of posted by robh 6 19 pm 401 comments monday april 15 2013 santa monica sunset stylistically i d say this one is more gouache like then the film emulsion look i have also been experimenting with posted by robh 10 53 am 124 comments monday april 08 2013 pasadena alley i included a close up too so you can see how abstract these are pushed a bit of vignetting at the end for more of a movie frame look all the textures are hand done abstract and no photos just a bunch of colored squares posted by robh 10 51 am 299 comments monday april 01 2013 tron uprising update posted by robh 10 48 am 241 comments thursday february 28 2013 new paintng finally new painting finally had time for a new graphic la painting this one is overdue haha posted by robh 3 40 pm 152 comments wednesday november 21 2012 tron uprising update here s a bunch of designs i did for tron uprising one of the most amazing shows on tv and i am so proud to have contributed to its awesomeness thanks alberto and charlie posted by robh 3 17 pm 124 comments thursday august 09 2012 simple composition just a quick one looks pretty real so i added a close up so you can see just how crazy abstract it is enjoy posted by robh 8 21 pm 176 comments friday july 27 2012 i was so utterly impressed recently with the edgar payne show that i had to try a painting on a more grand scale it s interesting looking at his work with mature eyes i can remember when i first saw his work and like most newer painters you think it s about the thick brush work it s so not every mark in his best paintings is a design element the strokes tell us something about the form the shapes are carefully designed to be interesting versions of reality the patterns are thoughtful designed and executed to be brilliant passages of calligraphy that would stand on there own if you were to peel them off the canvas the subtle color modulation reveals a plane change his design is deceptive because it comes off as simplistic in that it seems like anyone can make a thick brush stroke but that stroke carries with it the weight of strong design solid drawing clear separation of light and dark modulated color and the complete understanding of the 3 dimensional space he s indicating on a flat surface it was fascinating to have my memory of what i used to see in his work and compare it to what i am able to see now they re are very few living painters of the landscape who have such control over drawing design composition and careful value and color control today lack of drawing today i think is robbing us of the understanding of form and composition drawing isn t a trick of the wrist it s a method of understanding form and design posted by robh 10 19 am 103 comments monday june 18 2012 memorial day dukemajian park i was trying to explain to someone recently why simplified graphic iconography is so important to good design and this is a good example the scene in front of me was literally this a but a better design is this b and you can t see that unless you boil it down to the essential parts all the details get in the way and must be striped off to refine the design cause without design we re just human xerox machines copying what s in front of us with no thought even ansel adams knew that you make a photograph not take a photograph posted by robh 9 41 am 179 comments friday june 08 2012 tron uprising tron uprising aired last night and i m glad to be able to share some of the designs i did for the show i can only share what s been shown so far but what a bold look alberto and charlie are pushing more to come labels background concept art tron uprising posted by robh 5 09 pm 172 comments friday march 02 2012 la crescenta this is one i did over the holidays last year wasn t sure about it at the time but thought it was looking good enough to post posted by robh 3 04 pm 139 comments tuesday february 21 2012 california coast finally a new one put my 3 day weekend to use the challenge on this one was taking something that could have been very flat and horizontal and really exaggerating the z depth lots of calligraphy was used to show volume and contour posted by robh 11 04 am 211 comments friday january 06 2012 graphic glendale the latest in the series still working on doing more with less meaning what are the absolute essentials of the scene and still have it represent what s there in front of me trying to spend more time understanding what s going on and less wrist movement art is always a translation of reality always posted by robh 11 11 am 118 comments friday december 30 2011 el matador it seemed fitting to end the year with this location i usually took my class here for the last day when i was teaching at art center simplified shapes but realistic tonality seems to be what i m trying lately looking forward to where these take me in the coming year posted by robh 10 24 am 163 comments tuesday december 20 2011 griffith observatory this weeks graphic la entry these are getting more abstract in that while the shapes are based on reality i m pushing them farther than what s in front of me the color as well this approach i have to say is a lot of fun more design based posted by robh 9 21 am 89 comments tuesday december 13 2011 valley view or near that street anyway every single shape is altered pushed and skewed in this one even though it looks somewhat real had an interesting talk with robert valley which lead to this although my stuff isn t nearly as pushed as his i really exaggerated the rhythms of the trees bushes and lawns as well pushing and distorting them quite a bit while keeping the values and colors on the very real side the shapes are very simplified and designed the atmospheric perspective is exaggerated too to enhance the depth of the street in reality its not nearly as strong posted by robh 9 30 am 108 comments thursday december 01 2011 fall in la granted it s not as picturesque as vermont but la ha it s own unique palate concrete and orange lately i ve been thinking a lot more about designed shapes versus sight to size visual impression this may seem very real looking but i changed altered ever shape in here i kept the color and tonality true to nature but really pushed the shapes even though they may have a realistic feel labels digital plein aire plein aire posted by robh 9 50 am 90 comments tuesday november 29 2011 more

recent travel going for a retro future with some albert frey influence posted by robh 11 16 am 84 comments tuesday november 15 2011 uncharted 3 enough time has passed i thought i d post a few of the concept designs i did for u3 i waited a beat because i didn t want to give anything away for the hardcore gamers who played to the end already and thanks to the fans of the series for the awesome

putting on a great show and i was exposed to an entirely different set of shapes and lighting conditions i carried a small sketchbook with me and tried reducing the scenes in front of me to just black or white before working out the actual shapes i m still using super simple shapes line tool square brush square marquee to block out the piece keeping to a strong simple stark graphic composition
