The next part of the Men’s Style “bully” illustration.
The art director chose the Pink Floyd idea. A kid in the corner of a playground and hammers all bearing down on him.

Now that the idea is approved i move on to doing the artwork. I scale up the image size to roughly half imperial. Then on stretched watercolour paper (300gsm Fabiano) I draw out the composition. In this particular case there is a gutter( where the spine of the mag is) about 1/5 of the way in from the right, so i need to keep any action out of that space.

Aha! So it WAS inspired by Pink Floyd… I saw the part 3 on freshly pressed, and I was going to say that it reminded me of “another brick in the wall”… Now I see that you did intend for it to be that way. Pretty cool.
