a face and an angel

So, here we are, not posting on my blog all that often. I should correct that.  Here is a face, with hair that i like. And here is an angel, done for more cards. I happen to like this one very much. I wish I had such luck with all these angels i have drawn.

A face from reference, to play with photoshop brushes.  quite pleased with the desaturated shadows on her face.

Luisa Casati

Was an incredibly eccentric and wonderful woman

Bad hair day

scribbleflower

I should scribble in my drawings more.  Just messing around with artrage. I think i might have to invest in this. I LOVE the pencil tool, very versatile.

Sister

A quick idea I will make better sometime.  I should have been working!

Steadfast

Just a quick painting, loosely referenced so i could test my photoshop palette arrangement. It works nicely.

I am alive, and doing work..

..That im not going to show to you right now. (dont worry, its really not exciting)

Faliures can be good too

Sometimes, a picture doesnt quite go to plan, but it ends up a nice sketch anyways.

P.s I love quink ink and guache. LOVE.

Garden girl revisited

You know how you look at an image and you think 'something's missing...' and then it twigs, and you correct it, and suddenly it becomes a whole pile of awesome you never really imagined? Yeah. That happened here.

Why so shy?

another digital girl. She's a bit more approachable, perhaps.


In other news, I went and got an Agent. Watch this space!

Indeed.

I was planning on doing a whole lot more finished piece, along with 3 other different designs for some eyeshadow palette packaging, just because I think I can do it. and I needed something good for my portfolio....

Its more a mock up, a sketch. I'd totally re-do it if i had the time, but I have to print more pages tomorrow, and then thats that.

Snow place like home

Caw! Caw!

I love jackdaws. So i turned one into a mythical Myrebird for ArtPG. Its a low-level enemy that won't attack you unless it feels threatened, and tends to scratch at you with those claws and emit a confusing cloud of black energy in your face.

Dove

Dove is a character for a forum activity called ArtPG. Its an RPG where everyone creates a character and draws them along with enviroments, enemies and adventures. Every drawing gains EXP. I thouhgt I would Give it a stab! here goes nothing.



I'm not quite sure of the story about Dove as yet, but it involves something like fallen splendour. She's led a sheltered existence in her past, but now she has to face the harsh world of Artpg...

Friday night

Sketchbook scans

Just some little things for your perusal. the last one is my absolute favourite drawing for a long time. Strange how the simplest things are sometimes the best.
