Here are some selected sketches from my current sketch book. I drew the apple tree and the dead tree in my garden in the sun where I ended up with a lovely sun burn. I got tired of scanning and took pictures of some of the pages. Stop judging me. I had to hold the scanner lid down.
Decided to do some a bunch of quick character designs for practice. I’ve been playing lots of Skyrim recently and also gave into Game of Thrones too, so they’re all in the kind of area of costumes etc. Was fun to do this, will probably do more. Click on an image for a closer look.
Looking forward to ‘Man of Steel’ mega style. This piece just seemed to happen as I was messing around with some sketching. Turned out to be a very fun painting to do. I really need to work on my anatomy and light and shadows though. The clouds were fun to paint.
I thought I better start using my Twitter account, as I never do. So I’ve updated it and made it look pretty. I used my recent self portrait and merged it with several of my other pieces to create a background. This is the background.
Also, after returning to Twitter I noticed a bunch of spam tweets from my account. This is all sorted now, sorry to any one who this annoyed or was a problem! Sneaky hackers.
Another piece using the same process as before here. I really liked the outcome of the last one so I decided to do one fully from reference, so I used a photo of myself.
The paint brushes, scratches and lines in the painting make me want to try this with real paints and canvases, so maybe soon I’ll venture into that. But until then I’m hoping to experiment more with painting these in Photoshop.
It’s been a long time since I’ve uploaded any work, I haven’t had many chances recently. I did this quick painting using colours as the light and shadows. It was quite fun to paint this way and I’m happy with the result! I may do some more like this.
I downloaded Sculptris recently, a free software from Pixellogic who also do ZBrush. Its a very basic software, just sculpting (I think). So its a really good software to use if your thinking of getting into 3D.
Any way here’s something I made.
