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.



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.
