Something a little different

Something a little different from me. I fancied having a doodle and working with pencil again. I think I will try to recreate this image using just ink next and make the block colour more definate.

GIBBONS!

This is a page from a book that unfortunatly didn't happen. It was fun drawing these cheeky gibbons, maybe more from these cheeky chappys!

Feeling Joyful

A strong, slightly camp tattooed man, because why not!

Leaves or feathers you decide

All grown up

My little sister is all grown up and moved out. I thought I would give her a little housewarming gift. As she had all of the bits and bobs she needed, I drew her this image to add a bit of colour and art to her flat. 

Work in progress

Hello everyone.

Here is a late (work in progress) valentine treat. 

I have been listening to a lot of Ella Fitzgerald over the past few years and have only recently thought about creating art work for it. This one will change a bit as some of the words need to be re-positioned and might play around with colour a bit. Lots more to come. 

Happy Saturday 

Thank you

 

A while back I created some thank you cards, and here they are. Maybe create s pack of thank you cards along this theme?

Is it a bird, is it a plane? No..oh wait its a bird

Guess what I drew some more patterned things! I'm going to add to the yellow buildings I think, try out different tree ideas. Also which colour combo do you prefer with the birds? Or niether of them?

Muchas Gracias.

Strike a pose

 

I thought I would try out some fashion like images using pattern and shapes. It was really fun to create this I think I will try out some more using a limited colour. I used an image from an asos magazine and changed the print on the girls clothing. 

Building fun

 

 

Hello. I needed to get back into the fun of drawing and the easiest way for me to do that is to draw some buildings.  I am going to be creating some patterns with buildings soon, watch out for those.

Use your loaf

These images are possible entries into a competition to design imagery for tote bags. The images have to incorporate bread and cornwall, also I can only use two colours (the white areas will be the bag if its printed). Your feedback on the designs and colours would really help. Thanks :)
