Hayden Illustration


























In keeping with the assignment I gave myself a few days ago, I have completed another illustration based on an existing article. This illustration is for an article titled The Opener Closes. The title is in reference to the former opening Australian batsman Matthew Hayden talking about the ending or closing of his career. In this illustration I went for a rather literal illustration showing Hayden closing a door behind him as he starts his new life after a career in international cricket. In this illustration I attempted to combine a painterly background with my typical graphical style for the figure. I think these two styles are working well together.
