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’.

Fleeing a life of prosperity for prosperity in love

The story behind ‘A Fairytale Ending’

Despite her family’s objections to mix with the lower classes, a princess abandons her wealthy life and family to run off with the shoe maker’s son who she has fallen in love with.

Together, the couple journey out of the kingdom with no thoughts for where they’re going or what’ll happen to them. All they care about is freedom, hope, love, fun, and adventure.
