Can't sleep so drawing at 2 am

Rough night struggling with mental health and insomnia so grabbed my iPad from upstairs and wanted to draw something. Struggling to be creative I looked through old photos and found one from years ago when on a photowalk in Norwich. As a responsive photo it never quite worked as composition always felt a bit off so having the chance to do something about that felt appealing.

Importing photo into Procreate, I used a crop to isolate the guy with the ball. I then used selection tools to isolate areas and fill them with a Nikko roll brush. Feels like a cheat method of drawing but regardless of that, so so pleased with the finished result. By breaking up the whole body into sections, it has a collage appearance and thats something I am really happy about. Likewise the lack of uniformity also references a relief print, well my relief prints anyway with lack of uniform ink coverage.

I can see this as a poster and thats something I feel more and more drawn to and I think that this illustration now gets me closer to what I wanted from my original photograph.
