just some schoolwork i figured i would post.

this is essentially the process we follow to reach our final result:
thumbnails
sketches
final sketch
2x value studies (for this assignment, only 1 per image)
2x color studies
final piece

the article we were given was a rather depressing piece on the animal trafficking industry, almost as prevalent as human and drug trafficking. we were to choose scenes or aspects from the article to illustrate within certain measurement guidelines.

this is one of the scenes mentioned in the article, in which the undercover investigator is offered a baby armadillo for sale. it's curled up in a sack and may be sold for food or as a pet.
