About Me

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!

Blog-a-day: DAY 2 pt.2

Well, he isn't finish but for now he's complete to me :)
Here's Terrance, in all his near complete glory (and pelvis that's too big for him! Maybe he could have been a woman in his living life... with 'good' child-baring hips)



That child-baring hips have given me an idea for a little sketch, i'll work on it...

Something different in the pipeline for tomorrow's blog, LANDSCAPES (ooooo)

Blog-a-day: DAY 2 pt.1

Today I would have just posted the finished outcome of Terrance. But I went on auto-piolet when I woke up and played around on fireworks...
This is what happened and it's given me so many ideas now


Expect another post later today :)

Blog-a-day: DAY 1

Right, so it's not finished but i'm not failing on my blog-a-day task

Today is all about proportion, something which I was TERRIBLE at.
So, i'm teaching myself thanks to an invaluable anatomy book

This is Terrance (I've decided) and everything that I learn while drawing Terrance shall be reflected through everything else to do with bodies. So I hope he feels special :)
FYI- Couldn't use scanner for him because he's smack bang in the middle of an A3 page.
He'll be finished by tomorrow.

Backlog Resolved!

So yeah, it's been ages since I've put anything up.
I had a break after handing in all my work from the first term.
So although I feel it isn't a lot, this is what I've been up to since.


Inspired by a poem I read. She's supposed to be a 'young queen'.

And then I played about with my new toy... CS5!!


And some more playing about...

Used as a 4am brainstorm for the final task of my Bridge of Bones project. However I'm going to make this into it's own story...



A little character design experimenting with a new style

Forest Floozy- Authorship experiment

Initial thought pages...

A few technique sketches and looking at noses.
(top centre sketch is an idea I may work with for a new character)

My first prototype of my authorship main character (tadaa!!)
From this I can break down every little detail to make the perfect character.


FOR NOW...I'm back to textbook research :(
But i'm having the next 2 weeks solid work so i'm setting a task of a blog-a-day.

FYI, last picture was scanned in on my new scanner. WOOOO!
This means better quality pictures people :)

It's the FINAL COUNTDOWN!

Yes! Christmas is nearly here and so is the deadline for most of my work this term (sad face).
I can't post up most of the things i've been working on because they're not finished to a particular standard OR they're presents for people who look at this blog!

However, my Bestiary (attempt 2) storyboard is going well and after some debate, here are my two characters...
My ADORABLE little bunny rabbit. If you don't go 'awww', there's something wrong with you.
More importantly...DO NOT upset it!
-Done in rollerpoint and water colour

My 'Occult' Horse (sorry for landscape). Basically, he gets more than he bargained for!


-Done in water-souluable pen

Right, NEED sleep! Hopefully I'll have more to upload soon :)
