KELLY!

For my lovely girlfriend Kelly!

More girl sketches

More sketches of girls, trying to find a nice animate-able style for my short film I'm working on ;) More to come on that soon!

Sketch of the Day

Some Colour Studies.

A couple of colour studies I did between animating. They are from some of my favourite artists.

Rough Pyramid Thing

Did this as a test for a casino studio.

More Photo Studies

I got briefly addicted to Monster Hunter on my 3ds, which caused me to stray a bit from my drawing/ painting initiative. But I have stopped playing and done a few photo studies and have since learned I need to work on painting portraits. I have trouble with the values within the face, so I might do some value studies from photos/ masters.

The paintings of the girls didn't come out as nicely as I wanted, but any experience is good
experience!

 

Lacey & Seymour

Since learning how to use Toon Boom Harmony's Deformation tools, I just had to make a character to really test it with. So here are Lacey and her panda hat Seymour.

I've only managed to have the time to do 3 views so far, and I haven't started rigging just yet. More on that as it develops. :)

Imaginefx Sketch Competition

Just saw this competition today, and decided to do a quick entry for it. I hope posting this doesn't clash with the rules...

After staring at it now I'm not really happy with it, proportions are a bit wonky and I'd like to go back to this at a later date and fix up the face and stuff, but hell, these days as long as I'm drawing I'm happy. :) So I count this as a win either way.

NEED TO WORK ON FIGURE DRAWING!

Sketch of the Day

Doing some random Imagination sketches for the sake of getting the juices flowing.

Guitar Design Competition

I recently submitted some designs for a guitar contest in SUSTAIN Magazine.

It was recently published in their magazine, to my great excitement :) Check them out if you are into luthiery @ http://www.fellowluthiers.com/

The contest basically goes, if you design it, and you win, they MAKE IT FOR YOU! So how could I resist.

Sketch of the Day

Had an idea for an animation the other day which somehow led to these two characters. I wanted the main one's eyes to be kinda "rapey" hence my tentative title, Rape Skunk. They are dirty hobo's who go around drinking and being creepy while dancing to random songs that catch my interest.

I just cleaned, inked and very roughly coloured this to try and get the idea going. I've had so many animation ideas lately, I just have to try and get one off the drawing board.

Sketch of the Day

Can't sleep... Therefore DRAW!

Photograph Studies

Found time today to do some painting, so I thought I'd do some of my HUGE backlog of Noah Bradley work. So here are some paintings I did this evening with a decidedly Japanese flavour :)

A little bit of the Kahl!

My first portrait painting ever! I've recently decided to delve into painting faces and the like. Thought I'd start with the Kahl himself. Everyone loves a bit of Kahl Drogo.

Seeing as this is my first, I have found that I have a lot to learn, but I'll get there :)

Random Still Lives

Random Sketch of the Day

Did some drawing as part of my sketch of the day routine I've been doing lately. I liked how this came out so here it is. My plan was to have a sassy girl eating noodles, none of these really are what I was thinking, but they came out okay :)

Week 1: First 16 Composition/ Value studies.

I've had to juggle work and do these and unfortunately there is NO way I can get through all of the initial assignment... HOWEVER I am learning a LOT and actually sitting and painting for a change, which was the whole point in me doing this in the first place.

So Week 1 is master studies and these are my first couple of comp/ value studies. I picked mainly Golden Age illustrators because I LOVE their work. Pleasantly surprised that Noah suggested these anyway. Love me some  N. C Wyeth and Frank Frazetta. ( although he really isn't golden age )

Octi Shirt

Did this ages ago. But putting it up none the less :)

First real digital painting in Photoshop?

I hardly ever used to use photoshop, but have since been VERY keen to learn. Now this isn't the best, but it was spontaneous and fun. Hopefully I'll look back at this one day and laugh.

2 iPad Sketches

Drew the girl in Sketchbook Pro and the Forest in Procreate on my iPad.
