Target Practice (sketches round 1) (Patreon)

A couple early sketches of the target practice piece. I had initially imagined the piece as a more detailed image of Atmus, possibly a direct half tone of a photo. Also included here is a series of pose references I was considering when designing the piece. My initial imagination had this fire texture somewhere in the design, but I ultimately dropped it in the editing process. After tracing a pose in procreate and turning it into color blocks I realized I liked the less-detailed outline more than a direct photo or photo-traced sketch. You can see the first iteration of that in the red and blue outline here.
