cracked

This was an assignment for my Illustration class, an op-ed illustration for this article about bullying, and how the only way we can stop it is by teaching kids how to take care of each other. The hairline cracks represent the subtle damage that bullying causes, and how if not handled with care they could easily shatter. I used graphite and scratch-board and combined the two surfaces in Photoshop with some minor touch-ups.

I'm updating progress work over on my sketch tumblr if anyone is interested. So many assignments, so little time.
