ERIC CANTONA THE KING Initial roughs exploring the idea of Eric Cantona as a king. The crown like the one on top of the premier league trophy. Maybe he’s on a thrown? Crown Jewels? Robes?
ERIC CANTONA THE KING I’ve been thinking about what words that could potentially accompany this illustration. To see if the words could influence the imagery that I’m working with in my illustration. He would stand bold like a statue after he scored Looking all around While the crowd roared And the fans still sing About Eric the King
ERIC CANTONA THE KING These are my roughs so far for the Cantona double page. I’m really happy with how I’ve managed to simplify the caricature of him and still retain the likeness. Because of this I don’t want to overcomplicate the composition. Also I think it could be a nice balance for the book to have some pages which have more detail and and more going on and some that are simple but bold.
