A friend in Virginia posted a drawing on Facebook, done by a young artist a few years ago, of a hornet kicking a soccer ball, as the girls' soccer team is the Herndon Hornets. She asked, "I have this image. I want to use it as the basis for a graphic that can be used for t-thirts for [my daughter's] soccer team. Any ideas on an inexpensive way to work on the image?"
When she clarified, I realized she wanted it redrawn, but based on the original image.
So I offered.
Interestingly, the artist made the same mistake I've always, always made - hexagonal black areas on a soccer ball! It made me not feel bad for doing that all these years. I realized when I looked up photos of actual soccer balls so I'd get it right for this drawing. And by the way, soccer balls are really hard to draw!
The results...
And then I had some fun adding color...
Go Hornets!
