I was recently asked to create a few illustrations for Mountain Intelligence, a new mountaineering store that is opening in the Peak District in the UK. The illustrations were to be used on the store's website (www.mountain-intelligence.co.uk) and hung in the store. So far two have been completed, one showing climbers on Ben Nevis, and the other showing boulderers in the Peak District. The owner wanted to represent local climbing venues. I have included a few preliminary sketches of the alpinists to show the development process.
These illustrations were hand inked with a brush and Speedball Super Black india ink on hot-press illustration board, then shaded with an ink wash. Both of these illustrations are available as prints at jamiegivens.com
Sketch 1
The sketches are done in pencil, then scanned and shaded in Photoshop with my Wacom drawing tablet.
