Recently, I was tasked with drawing a few NFL players in Adobe Illustrator as part of a larger project. As I mentioned in my last project, I was beginning to learn how to draw these complex illustrations in the program. By now, I can draw without tracing, and that includes the detail on the on the helmets. The facemask bards are among the most difficult details to draw on an American football player.

The picture of J.J. Watt was shown as a work in progress and I have since added a little more detail.

 

These works were originally featured on my DeviantArt account, hence the signature.
