Inspired by the name of the company, "Dots'N Doodles", an art supply store in Astoria, Oregon, I strove to make an image worthy of such a name. My original intention was to make just that: an image full of dots and doodles. I used as source material a photograph of Heceta Head Lighthouse from the Oregon coast.
The digital photograph was printed in color on regular paper. Using a piece of tracing paper, I sloppily outlined the image's key features with loose calligraphic lines. I then reverse transfered the traced lines onto a piece of decent drawing paper. Using the basic outlines and the printed photo as a guide, I filled in the rest of the detail with india ink.
The original ink drawing was scanned and manipulated for use as the background and interface elements for Dots'N Doodles' web site.
