Pen Sketches

Hello bloggers! I haven't uploaded in a long time, so I shall try and update more frequently from now on. Having completed the majority of my course this month (only commercial photography to go!) I have found myself to be particularly drained. Alas, here's to holiday projects and lots of drawing and animating!
These images themselves were simple pen sketches done, without reference, and close to a minute on each.
Enjoy!

If cats had coffee...

This was something done really roughly, and for fun mainly! It's been a while since I've felt the need to do an animation, so a great moment today! Regardless of how loose it is, it's helped remind me of how to go about things when it comes to animation. I hope that this will, in turn, get me motivated to do a fully rendered and coloured animation (I can definitely see how it can be time consuming though). I just love this animation though! Priceless caffeine moment!

Enjoy!

Sketching

Hello again! Another blog update for today! This was just a really fast pen sketch that I decided to do, as drawing is a great way of clearing the mind. Obviously there's things wrong with the proportions, but as I said, purely a sketch. Probably a 2-5 minute thing, if that helps anyone thinking about the incorrect things. I hope to update the blog more as the course comes to a close...but we'll just have to see how that goes!

Enjoy!

Sea Swept

Playing around with my line work still! I hope to at some point incorporate my style into an animation properly, as well as attempt mixing the line work with realistic pictures. All up hill from here!

Enjoy!

Elephant Love

Well it's been a while since I have updated! It's getting to the end of the year, and yep that does mean the end of the Uni course...bring on 2013! I decided to draw something different for a change, so what better than an elephant (wearing a bow tie of course)! I use this picture just to express how easy we forget the effects of our words, and our actions. Love not war (or to a lesser degree hate)! If the elephant says so, then it must be true. I really love the line work (as usual) and it can only get better
 and more refined from here.

 Enjoy!

Edgar cover..ish

Hello fellow blog dwellers. Here's an idea for the cover of "Edgar the Seagull". Obviously still some tweaking needed, but I think its one of the more successful ones that I've done, and I really like it! I am biased though...so any thoughts or comments would be REALLY appreciated! 

Enjoy!

That be handy!

So this is what will happen if I think of something and decide to follow through with it. I was literally sitting doing work, yes work, and thought "Wouldn't it be strange if cats had hands?". I know that it is another cat picture, at this point in time, they are the easiest, and most fun, things to draw, and until I get more time, there will probably be more of them. At the same time, now that I have stated that, you'll probably find that I stop updating with cats....maybe. I'm also playing around with different things on Photoshop, and its really interesting to see the direction I can take the images!

Enjoy!
