Wild One

Just a quick post for now. Here's the process for an image with the word inspiration 'Wild'. As usual I went through a lot of ideas of what to do for this. An animal? A Primitive human? A scary creature from another planet?

Last night I watched a movie called 'The Ward' and that's where I drew my inspiration for this project.

My concept was a person in a straight jacket going crazy and trying to get out. I started with my usual pencil sketch.

Next I traced over with Prismacolour markers and ink. I wanted it to have a messy, rushed, 'wild' look to it.

Wild Colour

After finishing with the markers and ink I used Photoshop to increase the contrast and brighten the colours. I used hue/saturation, and contrast layers, and a sharpening and high pass filter.

And there we have a wild drawing of a wild man.

  1. Idk why...but this reminded me of Hannibal Lecter...Awesome work. You're marker rendering is getting more and more awesome! Wise colour choices to add dimension to the piece :)

    1. Yeah, Omi, I can see Hannibal Lecter, it's because of the straight jacket and the cage over the mouth. And thanks, I did this whole thing in about an hour so it means a lot to me that you think it's good :D
