Almost Had to Start a Fight
Medium: Prismacolor pencil on Bristol board paper

This piece was created as a part of my senior thesis in college, which consisted of illustrating the movement and brutality of certain sports. For this illustration, I focused on the motions of ice hockey players when gliding around the rink and how rough they can really get. I wanted the viewers to skate around the page and recognize all the overlap the players experience throughout the game.
