The making of ‘Rudy Snaps’


Welcome everyone to the making of, ‘Rudy Snaps’. I began the illustration by drawing some sketches. Once I was happy with them, I drew out a final draft on a thick sheet of white paper. Then, using pencils, I added colour to the illustration. The water, the blood, and the sun rays were created using coloured pastels. You can track my progress below, from the sketches to the final image.

The story behind, ‘Rudy Snaps’

‘Where have you been, Rudy?’
‘You OK, Rudy?’
‘What happened to your clothes?’
‘Is that blood?’
‘What happened, are you hurt?’ the neighbours asked.
‘There was a fight’, Rudy calmly replied. 

Rudy…

‘The gangs hang around our area always causing trouble. They prey on the weak, the vulnerable and the old. It’s hard to stand by and watch them get away with it. They’re cowards. Today I saw them beating up a frail old man. I was saddened, I was angered, I snapped. But I don’t care I protected my community from the people that tried to break it apart’.
