Hidden Beasts
As an illustrator passionate of tennis, I always had in a corner of my mind to create a series of illustrations showcasing many players that I use(d) to watch playing this wonderful sport.
Lately I've been working on a slightly different style of illustration, so I thought it was a good opportunity to use as subject another of these projects which I "keep in my drawers".
In few words, the "Hidden Beasts" personal project consists in illustrating, individually, sport's players executing one of their main "trademark move" while the silhouette of the "hidden beast" in them is revealed on the background.
To choose each player's "hidden beast" I focused on a couple of keywords translating the player's style of playing, main physical characteristics and/or attitude on the court (the keywords I used can be found below each illustration). Of course, this is a subjective choice and thereby debatable.
For the moment, I limited the illustrations to a couple of men players who are still active. When possible I will try to add more famous men/women players (included Legends who are not playing anymore).
Hope you'll enjoy the illustrations and don't hesitate to suggest, in the comment section, name of the player(s) you would like to see added to the series.
