6th Gen Console superflat!!

Illustrations for my current information project about video game consoles, these four are from the 4th generation (hard to believe we're on the seventh!). Traditional lineart and digital colouring; the flatness is epic.

Pokemon Challenge

So, as an attempt to lash out against my huge workload, I have decided to do the 30 day pokemon challenge. Basically doodling a pokemon every day, but I'll upload the good ones in bulk to save spamming people with updates.
Here we go:

 #1 - Favourite - Wartortle

#2 - Least Favourite - Mr. Mime

#3 - Favourite Starter - Charmander

4th Gen consoles

Some of the gouache paintings done for my Video Game Console project, the Sega Megadrive (aka Genesis) and the SNES :)

Long hibernation

Didn't do much artwork over Christmas, but have gotten started on an information project about Video Game Consoles (on which I waste far too much time). Here's some sketches deciding on how to illustrate them:

How many of these did you own?

Angry Arthur

Here's my three colour artworks for our recent uni project, children's book illustration. The story I illustrated was 'Angry Arthur'. These were done by making lino prints, ink and pastel, text added digitally.

Life Drawing with collage

I very rarely use collage in my work. No particular reason, I've just never been fantastic at it and never bothered to try it much. But as part of our life drawing classes using mixed media we had a session using collage today. And it was pretty fun!
Here's the last two I did (clothed, not nudes), each 35mins, although the shiny paper didn't scan well:

 

The Adventures Of Cloud and Blue

Some sketchbook scans of an idea I'm in the process of working into a children's book. Just for fun, really, and an excuse to use brush pens more often!
The Adventures of Cloud and Blue will be in two books - one follows Cloud, the other follows Blue. After a snow storm, Cloud finds herself separated from the burrow and must try to find her way home. Meanwhile, Blue sets off to try and find her.

Doodle Time

Because I wanted to doodle, so here's the Guardian for you. With new threads. Quink ink, watercolour and bleach  in my lil' sketchbook.

Visual Studies pics

Some images from the last visual studies session, probably will have more soon:

Doodle of Max cutting food up and a self-portrait using Faber Castell Markers. I really, really hate having to do self-portraits. Particularly with only a hand mirror...

Life Drawing Mixed Media

I'm not normally one who likes mixed media, but this week's life drawing was painting with rags and cardboard, then I messed around using acrylic, ink, and pastel. Clothed figures are a lot different to draw than traditional nudes, but it's fun!
