Dogsbody dancing shoes, currently a work in progress but here's where I am so far! Enjoy!

Black Trumpet Lion - The works in progress

I've not updated for a while because I've wanted to save my "sneak peek" pictures for a long blog post that shows in order my works of progress and a hint to my process. This particular piece took a lot longer than I had hoped so this post has been a long time in the making. I'll start with the finished illustration, My black trumpet lion-

Now for the progress images and some nice detail shots-

Dandelion Badger

Just a look at something I've been working on recently. I'm really unsure about the colours but I've settled on these for now. I've been so busy these last few weeks, it's been so hectic. I finished my degree, put up my exhibition and now I've taken it back down again! I can't believe three years has passed, it only seems like yesterday that I was nervous about coming to Lincoln. Now I'm nervous about my future! It's so scary not knowing what's going to happen, where will I be living in a few months? Where will I be working? There's so much to think about, even the little stuff like changing doctors and throwing away old clothes seem like such a big deal. Anyway, at least drawing will be a permanent fixture in my life.

Sneak peek.

Just a sneak peek at a work in progress. It's something I'm doing to keep me active and as an extra for my online shop which I'll do a big "hey here's my shop" post about later on.
I've been watching a lot of ghibli films today, oh they fill me with so much joy!
Anyway, here's the gentleman hare.  Tell me what you think?

Keeper of the bells.

So, I've not updated my blog for a long time. I've been so busy with finishing work and getting thing prepared to be printed for my portfolio. Anyway, during this I've found the time to complete another piece of work! It's for a competition, I need to sort that out too and fill out all of the forms. Time for bed though I think, it's been a long day. Here you go! Not quite finished, but, oh well. Too tired to care at the minute!

Mrs Packletide's Tiger

Another piece in the Saki series. Based on the story of "Mrs. Packeltide's Tiger". I'm still personally unsure about the orange but I'll leave it for now. Overall I think the colour pallet works quite well and I'm pretty pleased with the outcome. I'm still working on lots of images at the minute, I seem to have bits and pieces all over the place just waiting to be put together but I'm getting there!

The music on the hill.

So, here's what I intend to do with the face of Pan. I still need to include insects and colour everything. This is just a rough plan, just to see if it actually works. I also had the idea to turn it into a sort of mock 'festival poster' by putting text along the top and the bottom but I'll play around with that after I've finished the line work and added the colour in. So far so good, eh? Any helpful advice would be appreciated. Thanks for looking! Click the image for a closer look.

Hornet

Something I did as part of a tutorial which is just teaching me how to use certain elements of photoshop to make the way I work a lot easier. A lot of masking, texturing... yadda yadda yadda. I figured I'd upload it anyway. It's not neat or anything I'm particularly proud of but I might come back to it at some point and touch it up. Who knows.
