Exploration and extensional procrastination! 12/11/13

Hello Blog Dwellers!

Continuing with some procrastination (so my head doesn't explode from theory)! 

I really love how this one worked out, took a lot of fiddling and playing around. I am having a lot of fun! 

Let me know what you think!

Photo manipulation and sketches: 12/11/13

Hello Blog Dwellers!

Continuing on my current procrastination exploration (of amazingness) has led me to keep working on this style that I was playing around with. I have a LOT of ideas now for how to explore this further. For now I'm focusing on what I've already started (simple already found images) but I plan to progress to photo shoots and background manipulations on Photoshop. SO EXCITING! I'll still be pursuing the bolder lines, but this is a fun journey!

Let me know what you think!

Sketches and Photo fun 11/11/13

Hello Blog Dwellers!

Earlier this month I was involved in a short film production.

Playing around with some photo-manipulation and sketching, using the photos from the project, and I really have loved what I've constructed! I am loving the interplay of colour and pencil work! Let me know what you think!

Playing in the Park 11/11/13

Hello blog dwellers!

Having some fun with a pencil sketch and then following it through.

I love using pencils, but only will I every now and again follow through with them.

I love that I have the flexibility to work with all the mediums at hand.

Really enjoy how this one worked out in the end!

The background was an image I took (phone) and then cartoonised.

I might play around with this concept for backgrounds later on...

Enjoy!

Lest we forget.

Kisses..and line exploration: 11/11/13

Hello blog dwellers!

Through procrastination on one project, I have been working on research/ background concept collection for the Beauwulf Graphic Novel. I have a kissing scene (eek) in the next coming page, and I really haven't a clue how to draw it, so I'm trying a few reference images. This one is based a beautiful image (found here: http://sethadamsmith.com/2012/08/30/our-cupcake-wedding-cake-2/skwedding323/#main) stumbled upon. I've used the normal approach to my work (with the thick block lines) but also had a go colouring the lines as well. Both I find are effective! The coloured lines definitely give a more open feeling to the image, whereas the bold black creates a dynamic contrast. I'll keep uploading as I go, but both are fun. (Although the black lines are faster for the turna-around).

Let me know your thoughts!

Lest we forget.

Dinosawrs!

 

Hello Blog Dwellers!
Here's a good look at some of the dinosawrs that I have been working on (RAWR!). I'm excited to explore where these characters can go. This is just 1/3 of what I have drawn up so far, yes there are a LOT of dino's. It's a really fun project, I can definitely see cards, bookmarks and childrens books. Will see how this goes!
Would love to hear feedback!
Enjoy!

Update! Experiments and Fun times!

Hello bloggers!

It's been a bit of a break, but rest assured I have been drawing, and drawing a lot.

If you haven't already, I recommend jumping over and having a look at my graphic novel (booyah) which can be located through my main page. I will be scanning in my sketches at some point, when I'm not running around doing Uni work.

VERY EXCITING TIMES! I have been playing around with my work tonight, after having a break from dinosaur drawing, and BOOM decided to think outside the box. These two images are a result of this.

I love how its going, and I know that I can still keep working on it, and resolving it. 

Wish me luck!

Enjoy!

Love to hear your feedback on this!

Sketchy sketch: MADD camp and Pt Augusta/ Hawker

Hello Blog Dweller!

Here be the sketches from my journal whilst I was away for the second half of the holidays!

I had a lot of fun working/ drawing/ being free with it all.

Enjoy!

Thoughts and comments welcomed!

Getting the chance to draw out what onsie I might one day hope to get!

Playing around with texture and shading on faces.

Another play at tone and line, but I spent longer on this one (a few bits at a time).

Some scenery on the drive from Hawker to Pt Augusta, quick and messy sketches.

Playing around with hand placement, but not focusing on detail. Looking at the idea of "angels".

Having been surrounded by fly nets and farmers for a few days I thought I would draw one. Only quickly, enjoying the feeling of pencil on paper!

Playing around with a few spontaneous thoughts, and memories from earlier this year.

Starting with the face, then moving to posture, I think I'll attempt posture then face...

Really loved the vivid movement that camp about in this image!

Started with the eyes and just kept adding elements for this image. 

Looking into "work wear" of a waitress, and then just moving into a normal image of a girl.

Attempting to quick draw 2 people in the same scene...which always proves a  challenge, and gets different results each time. I used names from the tv series "Chuck" (brilliant show) but ultimately I hope to spend more time getting 2 people drawn in a scene!

Having not really drawn any of my passions or interests properly, and being inspired from an amazing trip to Hawker, I decided to draw out one of the quotes I tend to find myself repeating, to myself or to others. Based of the "footprints" storyline this image seemed to work out really well. The font is one I've been playing around with for a while and it's slowly coming to its own. I wanted Jesus/ God to look larger so that the idea would be that you could know he could actually support and carry the young woman. Having looked into the "carry pose" earlier, I found it much easier to replicate it.
