About Me

My photo
I am a Third Year Illustration student. I like to set goals high and allow myself to be influenced by the beauties of the world around me. I am not specific in terms of genre or purpose, I like the challenge!

Experiment to pass the time away

I couldn't sleep very well last night so i mucked about with digital colouring again.

Leaps and bounds!

Wow! Once again, it's been a while since I last blogged.
However, I do have a lot of new stuff to make up for it!

Firstly, observational drawing...
I've found colour again! Since I began my course in September, I felt like I had left colour on the back burner while I concentrated on style and form. Thankfully, I think that this has paid off. So I've started re-introducing watercolours back into my work...







Secondly, STYLE REVELATION!
I don't know where it came from! But it's come at a good time in my life :)
Obviously train journeys and London tube stations hold more inspiration than they first perceived to have

DAVEY JONES!


Wonderwoman. Due to the financial crisis, superheroes have been hit hard by 'DIY Crime fighting'. This has resulted in Wonderwoman's increased amount in daytime TV....and cellulite.


Rockabilly Octopus- complete with quiff, comb, XXX and jail-house scar


Self [anime] portrait


Totoro personified and a vague Captain Jack Sparrow






Based upon real people who were in the pub in West Bromwich before the football match



 Thirdly, Digital Colouring...
It has to be explored! Using my two favourite sketches, I added some colour either to highlight key aspects or to brighten up the whole piece.
(THESE ARE SOME OF MY FAVOURITE PIECES TO DATE!)
Dumbledore gives Voldemort a new nose!

Frodo, one cannot pirouette into Mordor!

 ENJOY!
