Ralph Steadman, the Gonzo Artist, is one of my personal favorite illustrators/artists. Steadman’s work has such a raw energy to it that makes it impossible to ignore. I wanted to try and capture that raw energy and spontaneous creation.
These textures were made my saturating some vintage papers with water, then adding watercolors, regular paints, and food coloring then letting them dry out.
Check my first brushes-only post, containing 6 splatter forms with energy. These hi-res brushes are over 2000px and will add great movement to your work.
Take a look at this exciting collection of bright red smears & patterns, once again set on a crisp white background.
