Monocromatic Superheroes Artwork

Eddy Newell Creates Fantastic Illustrations Without a Computer

— January 20, 2012 — Art & Design
The dark and intriguing superheros illustrations by Eddy Newell are powerful and cool because of the somber and melancholic tone they transmit to comic fanatics. Without the use of color, Newell gives life to iconic figures like Batman and Iron Man.

Using mixed media on bristol or watercolor paper, Newell draws detailed representations of the famous superheros. Either captured in the midst of a fight or simply waiting, these opaque characters appear strong and ready to fight enemies at anytime. The dark tonality also reinforces the brave attitude of the animated subjects.

It's refreshing to find excellent illustrations that haven't been altered or created by computer software. In addition to these awesome illustrations, Eddy Newell has worked for renowned publishers like DC, Marvel and Image Comics.
Trend Themes
1. Monochromatic Art - Opportunity for artists to experiment with black and white designs and create unique pieces that stand out from the saturated, colorful art market.
2. Traditional Media - There's a growing trend of artists reverting back to traditional media, as it provides them with additional flexibility to create and express their artistic visions in ways that new technologies aren't able to replicate.
3. Minimalistic Design - With an increasingly busy world and growing digital space, minimalistic design is gaining in popularity by allowing artists to create impactful pieces that stand out amidst the constant noise and overwhelming amount of content online.
Industry Implications
1. Art - Artists and galleries should consider offering more traditional media pieces, as well as creating opportunities for artists to display their unique styles in black and white designs, catering to art buyers seeking minimalist designs.
2. Comics - Comic producers should consider hiring traditional artists to create unique characters and stories that stand out from the typically colorful market, while also catering to the growing audience seeking more minimalistic designs.
3. Publishing - Publishers could consider incorporating more monochromatic designs into their book covers, potentially catering to a growing market of art buyers seeking a more minimalist approach to design.
