The first Special Edition of The Dramatist is now shipping from @dramatistsguild, featuring a cover and several interior illustrations by artist Ian Sklarsky.
Working in “blind contour” (rendering a figure or object with one, continuous line made without looking at the paper), Sklarsky often incorporates a post-rendering, watercolor wash, taking the technique to a new level.
For this cover of The Dramatist, he drew eleven different theatres from three different cities (New York, Chicago and Los Angeles) to mirror the content inside the magazine. Then he combined his individual drawings into this unique theatre collage.
Looking at Sklarky’s work, we can often see the starting and ending points of his drawings, heightening the awareness that this was drawn by hand (not computer generated). As we follow the journey of the line, we can almost project ourselves into the process, imagining what it was like to make it. Art which is hand-made (yet completely sophisticated) and makes its audience feel part of the process seemed a perfect fit for a publication celebrating theatre writers.
