Play ball!

Today mark’s the start of Major League Baseball’s 2010 season. And in today’s San Francisco Chronicle, some illustrations I finished up late last week. Art Director Matt Petty had seen my Fenway Park painting and thought something similar might work well for a bunch of baseball stories they were running. It was great to work with Matt on this fun assignment.
Some initial roughs 
Heres a detail of the main painting - with some of the line work added in Photoshop. 
Ink drawings get scanned.... It is nice to work in ink on separate paper - no fear of ruining anything! Just keep drawing new versions till it works. Shapes on the bottom were done with a larger brush for a shadow shape under the diving Aaron Rowand... 
An inside job.... 
... and a detail.
