Dover – Quick Study

Very quick piece this one because I’ve been non-stop today – felt like it was needed though as I’ve not posted for a couple days. I tried not to dwell too long on this one, not because I’m lazy (though of course I am) but because I wanted to keep things rough and loose… IContinue reading “Dover – Quick Study”

Noir

Started today with a two hour photo study before cracking on with some work. This was a pretty straight forward study to complete, very few details, simple values etc… and is based upon a photo taken in Valencia. If I can i’ll try to do a study every day but I’m getting more and moreContinue reading “Noir”

A fresh coat

This one took about three hours. It’s not super complex and it’s actually more of a study than a conceptual piece, but just doing a study of photo reference felt a little boring, so I added the painter/decorator to make it a little more interesting. When drawing from reference I often forget that i’m allowedContinue reading “A fresh coat”

Booking heaven!

This was going to be a quick piece – a bit of drawing from life, but then I got carried away. As with every illustration I do, I get to a certain point (usually when all the flat colours are applied) and I think “I hate this stupid picture and myself! Why do I evenContinue reading “Booking heaven!”

Do not spill the pint of a man who wears Crocs

Super simple character design here. Still working through the Schoolism.com class on character creation and this is part of it. The lesson is to use the prompts “aggressive” and “bully” and create something from that. I googled “aggressive animals” and got some reference images of grizzly bears and based the character around that. There’s nothingContinue reading “Do not spill the pint of a man who wears Crocs”

The Clock Maker

This was a fun piece to do (even if it took a while to finish, but i’m sure you’ll all appreciate that procrastination won’t get done on it’s own). 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”

More NASA/SpaceX Stuff (…probably not the last)

The SpaceX/NASA launch taking place in tomorrow is exciting stuff! I feel like this geeky space news needs to be as widely spread and talked about and blogged about as much as is humanly possible. Honestly, I love it. It feels like people are doing things in space finally. We need to get excited aboutContinue reading “More NASA/SpaceX Stuff (…probably not the last)”
