The power of silhouettes

3/6/2018

Hey guys,

I wanted to create an image, without using a lot of brush-work but instead let the shape-tool and lasso do most of the work. I also wanted it to look realistic. While looking for inspiration I found work by Dylan Cole.

I really like the feel of the image. The calmness of the shapes and the simple color-palette.

So I set out and to do something similar. Just as a practice.

I wanted to have an uprising composition from the lower-left to the upper right.

I started with the sky and one by one added layer after layer of city shapes. Just the shapes. I didn't want it to be a complete rip-off, so I added my own designs and some people.

This is the end-result.

I think it is super interesting, how only silhouettes can say so much. Try it for yourself and see what you can come up with.

Best,
​Flo
