High-Contrast Puma Mascot Sketch (version 04)
Working sketch of a high-contrast puma for a mascot illustration project. This design is being created for a high school mascot/logo redesign (I am only working on the illustration part of the project)
Revised version after client feedback, removed the spiky hair on the outside borders, added a highlight to the nose and rounded things off in general.
The "spiked" approach was implemented from my client (who is not the end client). I would have gone with the more rounded version you see here from the outset. However sometimes going the long way to a solution introduces elements that lead to "the" solution, so all in all I don’t believe the previous version was in vain.
Also created a 2-tone version as this will be part of the final implementation, however the goal with this type of illustration is to make sure things work as a one-color design first, and a two-tone design second.
Initial rough sketch created on paper, then scanned into Photoshop CS4 and cleaned up and refined using a Wacom Intuos4 graphics tablet.
