I tried something different with this one, that being the light being overcast and thus diffused, rather direct light. Not sure how I feel about yet. I think perhaps I haven’t fully grasped how to paint this type of lighting yet – it could be my values are off a bit or maybe my useContinue reading “Bully”

Adding colour
Managed to get these two pieces coloured in between doing some other work. I’m finding more and more that I dislike leaving illustrations just as line-work, it feels very unfinished. Anyway, more of these to come, i’m sure! Enjoy!
Character design – lesson one

I added the lighting effects to the main character in the same why (I hope) that SPA Studio’s did for their movie, Klaus. There’s a lotContinue reading “The Clock Maker”

Life’s a beach
This is another concept for a children’s book. I feel like there’s lots of potential and character here to explore – who, what, where, how etc… This place feels lived in and practically built, even if it seems a little unstable in places. Is it an island or part of a larger mainland like soContinue reading “Life’s a beach”
