Description
A job I finished a few weeks ago. It's a book which teaches kids how to use a skate deck properly.This one shows the little board bandits how to do an 'Ollie'. That's pretty much where you flick yourself up on your board and try to land on the board, without falling on your arse or breaking your fingers.
Once you have this one made it's onto bigger n' better.
Reference was a bastard to get with this one. My lil' cous used a scooter now so he was outta the loop. And google / getty were not much use. Youtube and my imagination were needed.
Oh, and check this brilliant docu-movie out---> [link]

Amazing work, I love the texture on the jeans and the color on your lines.
Too bad you have to watermark.

Cheers, bud. The publishers would see their arse if I didn't watermark. Specially before publication.

Cheers, bud. I only did these two images for it though. The rest of the book was photos. I'm not even sure why they asked me to do these two.

Well I would read a whole book of skate tricks drawn that way!

Looks god to me. Like how you kept the spin in the wheels throughout, really puts across the motion

Cheers bud. I needed that kineticism in there to sell the speed of this move to them.
