Hi everyone. I thought I'd share some of the things I've been working on.
-
An upcoming spread, playing with different sizes within the same sequence. The author wants lots of different outfits/times/places within the book, so I am showing that in one spread here. My ideas of showing that progression, is to make the first spot in silhouette, then developing detail as the eye moves forward. My favorite part of this scene, was redrawing a million sequences from about 30 thumbnails. Might be the longest line drawing I've ever done because I wasn't finding the natural dynamic right away. But I am happy now with the result, and excited for painting!
-
Had an idea rattling around in my noggin to do a cover illustration for the September prompt. Not sure if I will get to it before the deadline or not, but at least I got the sketch out of my head.

This little guy is for a personal project I am working on.

Workin' on some concepts for book 3
-
Working on the next spread but I thought I'd share this one so far. I am almost done... looking for the best opacity and color to pop under the girl's orange dress.
Hoping the skin tone looks good! I have linework to clean up also on the middle image.. so it's not 100%... but feedback welcome! Thank you

Having fun with some fan art

Working on some test pages for one of the books my friend and I are doing. My best mate has been the writer on a few comic projects we've done together, and one of the new things we are doing is a "Myths and Legends of the British Isles" book. It's slow going and I'm back and forth with the style, but we are having a blast. He always injects humour in the text.

Did a pirate lion. I am surprised that I have people asking for prints of it. It was just for fun.
-
A page from my graphic novel proposal I'm putting together.

@MarcRobinson this looks amazing!!

@Pamela-Fraley hey thank Pamela. I wish I could work on our books all the time.

I know it's early but I've been trying out an idea for NEXT months How To Fix Your Art. If I get this one done I may do another idea I have in mind and see which is best, because I'm torn. Anyway, here is my WIP. On the left is the sketch with a basic grey fill that I use as a mask. On the right is the same sketch but with some basic colours and a bit of rendering on the head. Slow but steady progress. I need to fix the cat's pose, especially the tail, but I'll get to that when I get to it ha. And as you can see I'm still trying to be the Wish version of Norman Rockwell! -
Looking for a sign?
