The first image exhibits my thumbnail process figuring out the gesture, composition etc. You can see some notation on the rule of thirds and line of action. Typically I also have word lists and take notes on semiotics & metaphors. This project was less about communicating an idea and more about captivating the audience into reading the info.
The second image is a pencil drawing where I develop just enough information for me to begining inking. This saves on time.
Next the inking stage you might notice that there are a few details still missing. I often do black-blocks, textures and minor details digitally. The graffiti piece on the bottom right was recreated using a digital tablet. It was a heck of a lot of fun too.
Finally the finished piece with type. I left a lot of negative space at the top of the poster to place the text. I don't often have an idea in mind for it's layout because the illustration typically changes so much during the process.
I plan on potentially turing this into a skate deck and art print without the text.
