Sketch 365 – by Scott Hulme

This is an expansion of yesterday’s sketch, prepping for the same digital illustration perspective assignment.  I like the angle, but I was thinking of making it more visually interesting by putting it in that leather-helmets era of 1920s-ish college football.  Could make for a good color palette and design aesthetic in the final piece.  Also, I like the idea of having an unexpectedly female quarterback who’s about to make the big, game-winning play.  I forgot to fix the proportions before doing this fleshed-out version, but I figured that could be fixed later in Illustrator.

Then I realized something: there’s no actual action taking place here.  There’s anticipation of action, but that’s it.  So the inset sketch is a new idea that would integrate action directly between the foreground and background elements.  Of course, it also trades female empowerment for imminent demise of small, furry creatures.  Hope that doesn’t reveal something about the artist…
