More sketchbook stuff.

A quick thing done for a friend who was feeling a bit down.

I was asked by my brother to create a image for the front page of his dissertation. He's an archaeology student, and the topic (to simplify it) comparing rock art and modern graffiti. He wanted something clean that could be faded out like a watermark above his title page information.

I was asked to create something based on the above piece of Rock Art (a particularly famous piece from the site at Lascaux that he's examining). He wanted the basic outline of the bulls, but slightly modernized.
My first try was something very streamlined (He mentioned the White Horse carved in the chalk at Berkshire Downs as a example). I tried to keep the essance of the Cave Art while slightly modernising the feel to it.
Then I decided to try something with the graffiti theme, so I recreated the outline of the bulls with an airbrush, mocking up drips you get from excess paint to make it seem spray-painted. This was the one we decided to use for the final image.

Sketchbook work.
