Headphones and Crash Hat - Procreate illustration timelapse

Written By Mick Buston

This started as a good idea - a photograph of people sat outside Beano cafe, one dressed in headphones and the other behind them in a crash helmet.

However what seems will work and what does actually work don’t always match. Was happy with the sketch but the more I tried to add colour and render it the less I liked it. Realised a crop may help but that only went so far. Harder crop and a monochromatic treatment helped rescue it a bit. Plus side is I am happy with the drawing at least.
