Helmet-2-Helmet

I did this illustration about the severity of helmet-to-helmet hits in the game of American Football. A helmet-to-helmet hit is when a player hits another player while leading with his helmet, banging his helmet into his opponent's.

1. Thumbnail Sketch. Small thumbnail sketch to work out the composition. I was going for action and I wanted the hit to look like it hurt.


2. Drawing. I chose to give the background action lines, kind of like a comic book.


Final.
