Sneak peek!

Sneak peek at my current work in progress the constellation Aries.

Recent works

Here's a little peak at one or two things I've been working on recently. The first is called "dogsbody dancing shoes" which I still feel like i need to add an extra something to, but can't decide what. The second is a Dragonfly which someone asked me to draw for them. enjoy!

Sneak peak

Just some things I've been working on, and one completed thing!

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-

Sneak Peek.

I know I know. I need to start updating my blog more. I've been so busy setting up my etsy and moving home I guess I forgot about this space. Anyway, as promised in the title of this post a sneak peak! I'm currently working on something, it's a bit of an experiment so it could go horribly wrong... but let's not be pessimistic. So here it is so far, the skull anatomy of a she-lion.

I know, it's not done but I'm getting there. So what's the experiment you ask? It looks a bit dull you say? This is one of three layers which incorporate different levels of anatomy, bones, muscle and skin. I'll be trying to illustrate all three into one image. Once I get more done. you'll see what I mean and hopefully it'll look top notch.

Other news! I was featured in this edition of Digital Arts! Harassing people by email finally paid off. I'm so chuffed and it's so nice to actually see your work in print. I apologise for the awful mug shot, it was kind of last minute and I'm an awful subject for photos.

So, how has everybody's week been? Is anyone working on something fun? 

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?

Like a boar with apples

Hi guys, I created a design for Threadless.com and just wanted to promote it as much as I can. It would be a fantastic help is people could vote, comment or even share this with friends! I'd appreciate it so much! If you could like to vote, just click HERE to be sent to the page!

Thanks!

More insects

I've been trying to design  range of business cards recently. I really like the idea of having a few different types of business cards but I also wanted to keep them uniform. Anyway, here's what I've been playing with, quite simple and subtle but I'm rather pleased with how they've turned out! 

Sneak peak.

I've been able to scan some more work recently, so here's some of my more recent stuff! I don't know what on earth I'm going to do when I don't have access to an A3 scanner anymore! Yes! These are A3 Sketches!
Anyway, I'm very fond of working in pencil, I really like the semitransparent nature to the lines which you don't really get with Indian Ink. I still have a lot to do on these specific pieces, but here's a sneak peek anyway! I've not fully set my mind on these colour pallets but I can tweak those later. I also need to add some decorative floral borders and actually colour the right hand image. Click to make them bigger!

Tobermory

I've not updated for a while because, although I have a lot of sketches to show everybody, I don't have a scanner to get them on my computer! What a shame! Anyway I managed to borrow Joe's scanner to get started on my Tobermory piece, so here it is!

The music on the hill.

I'm still thinking about adding text to make it look like a mock festival poster, but here is it so far. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
