My entry for Waterstones Picture This 2011!

2011-07-07T12:50:00.000-07:00

These are my character designs for Michael Morpurgo's version of Beauty And The Beast entered for Waterstones Picture This 2011

I found the Beast took the longest to design, I didn't want it to look like Disney's beast and didn't want to go with the old style anthropomorphism. Her dad was the easiest to design because I saw how i wanted him straight away :) It was fun researching into 19th century dresses as inspiration for Bell.

Hansel and Gretel

2011-06-17T15:36:00.001-07:00

I doodled these a while ago and decided to create a more finished piece.

Work in progress shot of what I've go so far. The lighting and colour has been quite a challenge, I'm constantly changing and re-working colours searching for the best result.

Brush and Ink

2011-06-14T10:59:00.000-07:00

I decided to try out inking Oscar as an experiment for what the comic could look like. I need more practice with inks yet, I think for the final comic I might go with pencil.

Monkey Island Sketches

2011-06-07T14:08:00.000-07:00

I used to play this game on the Amiga when I was little and after seeing a new remake released I just had to play it again.

The original pixel graphics are so wonderfully rendered and deigned, they have done a really nice job on the new graphics too, and the added voices fit the characters perfectly. This has to be one of my all time favourite games! so I got inspired to do some sketches of the main characters Guybrush and LeChuck. These guys are fun to draw so I'll probably be coming back and doing a full picture with them sometime.

Finished now!

2011-02-14T16:12:00.001-08:00

Drawing the pattern on her top was the fun part =D

Just a girl

2011-02-03T08:22:00.000-08:00

I was staying at my partners house and so i decided to take a break and draw something not related to our film.

its ready for ink and colours, i might finish it in markers so expect coloured version soon.

Hope you guys like her!

2010-12-05T13:31:00.000-08:00

Just a quick sketch of Oscar eating his dinner,

Oscar and the boys are usually given Master Sweeps leftovers.

I'd like to take this sketch further and do a full illustration of oscar and all the sweeps eating at the table.

Marker Magic!

2010-11-21T12:31:00.000-08:00

Something i'm working on, I've been having lots of fun with markers! shame that they run out. Im waiting for refills to arrive.

Brendan and The Secret of Kells

2010-11-09T15:01:00.000-08:00

Brendan and The Secret of Kells is now out in UK. I saw this film about a year ago, its one of my favourite animated movies and and i've been in love with it ever since. Its one of a kind and truly beautiful!

I've just got some watercolour sketches for now, including doodles I did while watching Brendan and The Secret of Kells, and a girl.

John K Drawing Exercises

2010-11-08T15:53:00.000-08:00

Iv'e been following the great John K for quite some time now. [Click for John K's Blog]

Like any artist, Im always looking for new ways to learn and improve my art. John K recommends you to study from Preston Blair to learn how to break things down.

The front fist angle the hardest

I plan to continue with a few more of these studies, then ill look at real hands and try to apply my own construction in a similar way.

Graduation and stuff...

2010-11-04T16:01:00.000-07:00

Oscar's First Day

2010-09-26T13:50:00.000-07:00

Its his first day chimney sweeping and Oscar is nervous

Louis is going to be looking out for him....... well sort of.

Just stay out of the Master Sweeps way! >:[

This drawing was originally on A2 so it was tricky to scan on A4 scanner!

This is another cut i was considering

Screenshot of early progress.

I always start my rendering by first creating an underlay to use as a guidance for my lighting. I also make the lineart brown I just like that softer natural feeling to my lines when i draw Oscar.

Games design + Stuff i'm working on

2010-09-14T04:11:00.000-07:00

I wanted to create some designs for a survival horror game, this is goanna be my main protagonist.

Normally i don't colour like this so i wanted to give it a try..
