Superdad
[171] “Superdad” — Avalon, Materials group (Procreate app, iPad, Apple Pencil).
I used the same brush for the drawing and for the coloring, which wasn’t so in previous drawings that I colored.
Usually, color is an addition prettying a picture. Occasionally, it is used for mood to enhance expression. Here, I use color to add meaning that wouldn’t be noticed without color — I link the three cars in the background below to the three figures using color and thus create a kind of mini-allegory. I’ll leave it to the viewer to interpret its meaning.
Another way that color enhances the meaning of this drawing is by linking the figures — there is a little of the father’s blue and of the brother’s red on the yellow costume of the girl; reversely, there is some yellow on the father’s blue costume and on the brother’s red one.
