Father's Day Card 2012

Trying to look back through all the stuff on my computer and make sure that I've put everything on my blog- this is obviously from quite a while ago but better late than never!

Nativity Characters Drawing Development

Here is a little snapshot into some of my sketchbooks in order to show the process of how I like to work in the early stages of a project- I like to draw my characters over and over until I am happy with them. Once I am happy with them I will draw them neatly with my lovely set of Rotring pens and then scan them into my computer to work on them further. I will post the finished character designs in another blog post soon.

Patterned Classy Creatures

I have just realised that I never actually posted this- I just wrote it and saved it as a draft- these designs went along with my final major study stuff from the Summer...

Here are my classy creatures designs with pattern fills, these were part of my experimentation for my final major study but didn't make it on to any of the illustrated products as I thought that they would look more at home in a children's book- I might have a go at children's book illustration next year and see what happens!

Caterpillar Nursery Part 1

As promised here are some photographs of the nursery that I decorated with my fancy dress caterpillar designs. It took ages and it was really fiddly to paint but I'm pleased with the finished results- the lighting in this room is pretty poor so the photos aren't as good as I would like them to be- sorry! The bunting is going to go in this room too.

Cloud/tree 3.D 'Set' experiment

This is something that I developed from the work that I originally  did for the cloud appreciation society poster. I wanted to have a bit of a play with something a bit more 3.D for a change. I'm quite pleased with the results although it took ages to put together and was super hard to photograph!
