Anger Series.
Artwork 2 - Punishment : The Day After.

When anger is ignited in a person it is often very difficult to control and may result in irreparable damage. There are times when people get hurt from the outburst of another person's anger, and it results in the victim being punished for whatever he or she did to upset the other person. Scars and wounds is not something that goes away overnight. Rather after the body is hurt, the next day always seems to be the worst as skin and flesh is still tender and bruised from the traumatic damage that it received. Artwork has many 'stitches' in the design to depict lines from the result of whipping or scrapes.

Artwork was executed in only illustrator as I find I am more familiar with the program. Illustrator also allows for more fine and exact lines which is dire for my work.

This is my 'draft', one of the three sketches that I picked scanned into the computer.

I then uploaded my final sketch into illustrator. I gave it it's own layer and entitled it 'original sketch'.

I then used the pen tool on a new layer to painstakingly trace each line. This was done by zooming into the original sketch. I also used the shapes tool to aid me in obtaining elliptical or square shapes but the majority of it was organic shapes. When working on the artpiece I did not fill in the tracings but worked with it empty.

This view is after I had finished tracing the entire design and inking it in with black.

This is how it looks when I was working on it. As you can see, there is just a lot of traces using the pen tool.

This is how it looks without the 'original sketch'.

This is the completed version without the 'original sketch'.

Afterwards I drew a rectangle fitting the canvas size using the shapes tool. I then fiddled around with with colors as well as the gradient tool. I used quite a lot of brownish-reds to try and depict a dark but bruising picture to fit the theme.
