Gabriel Picolo is a digital artist who draws for DC Comics. I find his art style unique because he can draw people and characters in his own unique and dynamic poses and settings. Each of his pieces have a lot going on, almost having a foreground, middle ground and background. His use of perspective allow the backgrounds to give the piece depth.
I like the way he shades his pieces, as it gives it a subtle shaded look, although certain parts are cell-shaded yet it doesn’t look flat or lack any kind of texture. I like that the shading and colours used effects the lighting in the image, giving it more of a sense of depth and reality. The muted tones and slight blue hues of the shading in the piece above make the blue Soda sign the main lighting.
Gabriel Picolo also did a 365 day drawing challenge from 2014 to 2015 which helped him improve his style and learn a lot about art during the challenge. This was not only what helped him develop his style and helped him improve in his skill, but also grew his Instagram which in turn allowed him to work for bigger brands and publishers, such as DC.
