Perkins High On Fire illustration process

WTF am I gonna do for this MF


First things first: Metal posters require attitude


The rule of thumb: Always listen to the band while I'm working on their design.


Getting started

i always listen to the band too, but it doesn't make me draw like that.

do you shave your head every day?

[perkins]

This is how I roll when I want to spend countless hours on a piece of art just for the fun of it: Black Prismacolor pencil to bring it to life








The finished piece, most of 4 days from start to completion

Billy Perkins... you are a golden god! Fuck yeah, this is bad ass!

[Rhys]

That was cool man, I always listen to the band as well while drawing.
Fantastic illo, I assumed you did stipple for the shading in the cat but the pencil is better.
Do you have to then halftone that to get it to screen?

[GIGART]

Awesome. Thanks for sharing.

[Mark McCormick]

the shading on that cat is genius!
