I would like to start a thread for the 1960's and 1950's character style. You know the surban folkes with meaningless smirks and hair parted on the side stuff. Like Dick and Jane style people. I can't find any referance pics though....Any one interested? Do you know the style i mean?
like the dad in the picture only with three colors, black orangeish-brown and white like an old how to pamphlet. Anyone interested? |

Well, calm down everyone and don't mess up with Ensellitis, he's cool. I think the 1950 idea is great, Im a fan of fifties advertisment and like some of the songs from the era. I made some simple lineart to have a start. For coloring 3 colors - thats hard I think, but I wait to see how others handle things.  |

| That is soo cool!!! Can't wait to see it colored. The reason i said three colors is that the old textbooks only used black and another color toner. I think this type of Americana is fun to play around with too, happy pixeling! |

Mass produced art (Comic books, text books) would have little to no shading, a very limited amount of colors. Something less mass printed (Movie posters, Art Prints) would have more shading, but still a limited amount of colors. Mostly due to the printers of the time, I would say to keep the colors down to 16, and if you shade/dither, only use 1 color to do that with. |
