Photo time

More reference photo, I like the dramatic lighting I managed to get with even with my cheap digital camera.  Help yourself.  Place:  Deans Bush, and river bank by Canterbury University.

Karma

Haven't done a realism portrait in a long time (2 years, says dA) so this was quite an effort for me. Presenting my colleague, Karma! Agh quite a weekend, with this, DF, Iranian New Year and taking Johannes to A&E.

I don't know why, but I could never get the background to be ffffff.

It's a witch

I painted a witch this week. Couldn't think of much to paint so just took a sketch from my sketchbook and painted that up.... yup

On Location

A few drawings, based on photo reference, the idea was to find some lovely locations, 

then add my own characters to the environment.
(I was also still wrangling with the implementation of screen-tone.)

Filling in for Jed

On fire. I think. I'm certainly burning myself out, haha. Into double digits! Not that I'm showing you quite how many. ;o I refuse to lose.

Maid

Photograph.  Too wet to scan.

Wakfu and some heads

Their is this game called Wakfu that I use to really enjoy, unfortunately it kinda died at launch due to shitty payment methods. Anyway I decided to try paint a character that would fit into that universe, a new class kinda.

I also did some practice drawing heads

Self Titled

I took my Sketch from yesterday 

and crafted it into an album cover.

Hey! I want to fill in for Jed too!

Shamelessly copying Tom.

I AM THE JED TODAY TOO!

Rough colour sketches of people with their fav small Pokemon. They were intended to be chibis, but chibis didn't happen.

Edit: Agh, I drew Mankey too big... I'll fix this for the next addition.

Ink & Guitar

I drew this sketch today, 

I think it would make a nice album cover.

Thomas and Mankey

Quick colour of Thomas and Mankey.

I really hope your eyes are actually blue, Tom. Otherwise it's gonna be super obvious that I'm an awkward person who actually has trouble looking at people's eyes properly. OTL

Space Dude

A quick painting of a space dude. His ship has crash landed on a unfamiliar planet, will he make it home?

The answer is no

Comic Excerpt Exercise

Click to Enlarge

This week I have drawn this short comic.

 It's basically an exercise;

 a test to see if I can get a scene to 'look' and 'read' correctly.

The scene is an excerpt from a longer story I want to draw eventually.

In order of fun.

Most Fun - Drawing the rough sketches in pencil, 

(rough sketches have so much spontaneity and potential)

Medium Fun - Inking over with pen 

(Destroying the potential of the pencils)

Least Fun - Photoshop Tinkering

(Trying to figure out how to work screen-tone)

Anyhow an enjoyable experiment that tells me what I need to work on.

(Oh yeah by the way, the small Puffer-Jacket guy is a Ghost)
