Ended up with this old wrestler kinda looking like he's just about to nail someone. I'm happy with what I've created but it's not about the content, it's about the processes that were used to end up with this end product.
- Original sketch, I drew this without the help of any reference material.
- Made it slightly bigger, this enabled me to get more detail and to thin out the line width.
- I refined the lines that make the different components by repeatedly drawing and tracing them. I made sure I got the lines as consistent in width as I could. It didn't take me very long to end up with something that started to resemble to the final outcome.
- It took me a few goes when trying to draw it as a whole sketch, but I got there in the end and I am happy with what I've drawn. I did this by scanning 3 different sketches into photoshop and putting them together. I took the legs from the drawing on the right and placed them on the left hand sketch, as it is shown above.
- I cut the eyes out of this sketch and placed them onto the final to finish the drawing. There is a lack of detail in some places, I shall add bits when it comes back my way.
This in all fairness is not really the an ideal way to be creating my illustrations. It took me quite a while to create the final piece, even though I wanted to draw it over and over to refine it, I didn't end up with something at 100% complete. I had to take bits from other pieces and put them all together.
Will now have a go at adding to Rob's effort towards the collaboration and try end up with something totally complete...
