Dr Who-Now?

This is a commission Piece for a friend who asked me to draw a picture of her mum with the tenth Doctor for her birthday. I need to work on my caricatures I think, had a bit of a struggle with this one.

Disserstractions

I thought this was funny when I started drawing it, but I think that writing my dissertation for pretty much twelve hours straight has addled my brain.

Open the door, Get on the floor, Everybody lay the Smack Down

This is a painting I did for my friend Ryan for his birthday, acrylic on canvas. I actually started it last year for his 21st but ran out of time. Then when I came back to it this year I discovered that I only had about 4 hours of work left to do on it. Gutted.

Doesn't matter anyway, Ryan seemed to like it and I know a few folks in the studio were interested in seeing the final product, so here it is. The wrestler is supposed to be Ryan himself. The dinosaur is no-one I know personally.

Something that... isn't... uni work...?

Apparently I'm still occasionally capable of drawing things just for the sake of drawing them. It's very liberating and I really wish I did it more often, but usually it makes me feel guilty...

Rachel's been preparing work for her portfolio over the past week or two and today she decided to do some painting. She had a nice reference picture she'd found on the internet of a girl sitting in an autumnal forest and since I was sitting next to her (Rachel, not the girl in the forest) I found myself sketching the girl's face. It turned into me trying to work the copic markers and this is the final result. I've tweaked it in Photoshop slightly because I think when I scanned it the colours came out kinda faded, but then again it might just be my laptop screen. Let me know if it's too bright, or any other criticisms really. Really need to improve.

Also need to update this blog more often...

Faces in places. Mostly on this page of my sketchbook...

Spent most of yesterday mindlessly doodling faces and I've been told it should be on the blog, so here it is! Apologies for how long it's been since last post D:

Late AGAIN!

Okay, I really need to get on top of this blog thing. Apologies for yet another late post and for yet another half hearted contribution. I've been a little snowed under, same as last week, and it's putting personal work on the back burner. Blah blah blah, heard it before, okay here's some more life drawing.

This week I decided to delve into the world of colour. As I said in a previous post, being able to use colour is a skill I feel I am quite severely lacking in and I've been meaning to start experimenting for some time. First two pages here were ten minute poses. The last page was twenty five minute poses.






I'll try and get something more interesting up soon.

Failpost No1

I was super busy and totally caught up doing stuff for the Flying Duchess fourth year film, and as a result I've done very little personal work. I was also away in Glasgow for the weekend and didn't manage to get anything uploaded here, so here's a late post. Have some life drawing. It's not much. I'm sorry.
