Creative process

One of several ideas for a range of artwork, the theme being Water Creatures. With some emphasis on a boy’s room, this great white shark character started with a scanned sketch of a typical shark pose – the sinister dorsal fin breaking the ocean surface.

The style is comic/cartoon ink cell, with the addition of some subtle shading, rendered with vector graphics.

The shark is designed with a characterful expression, but also a certain level of anatomical correctness (particularly the eye) in order to convey more of the feeling of a real animal for the imaginative child. This will be a feature of the whole series.
