line drawing

If you had bare walls in your home, what would you do them? Well Charlie Kratzer decided to take $10 worth of Sharpies and go to town creating an amazing basement mural.

Here’s a little preview:




And then go to this link for a complete 360 view.  it is absolutely amazing!

It just goes to show you don’t need expensive materials to create something beautiful!

I love the look of simple line drawing with touches of limited color.  I have been playing around with it in my illustrations now and then. Here's an illustration inspired by Charlie Kratzer's beautiful use of line in his basement drawing.

  1. That's really awesome - they do this stuff on cars, too! There's a Sharpie Lamborghini working the car show circuit, somewhere.

    That is such a cool idea. Love it! It really creates dimension in the space but is so playful. It was great meeting you Friday!
