Oc – Techo, Hung Over

Ink drawings inspired by the bus route from Mauve City to Courtington. The group take the bus often as most of the good bars and their favourite club are in the City. Proud of these! Especially the blue one! I edited techo into this – the ink drawing of her was another sketch I overlaidContinue reading “Oc – Techo, Hung Over”

Printmaking : Artist Research

On my week off class, I took the chance to start a printmaking Pinterest board of my own. I started taking pins from Phil’s pages, then moved on to researching artists he’d mentioned on his slides throughout the weeks. Below are a few specific notes I made, but in the meantime I’ll keep collecting andContinue reading “Printmaking : Artist Research”

Things I would do if I had magic

The itching in my head and hand also led me to create this yesterday. This art made me happy. It made me happy because I was visualising something I’ve spent some time thinking about, and because I worked SO quickly and still love the way it looks. I think the shapes are really successful, andContinue reading “Things I would do if I had magic”

Rose Tea

I’ve been distracted these last few days. Feels like something big is swimming around in my hands and brain and I need to work to get it out. This is one such attempt. What you get to see with me saving my iterations is a lovely journey where I get freer with the concept. SelectingContinue reading “Rose Tea”

Commission and doodle

Nxllur’s Paperwork 1

Below is a flip through I did quickly this morning. This flipthrough is intended to be a “before”, hopefully, so I can go back and compare how I made the work more cohesive today. Having talked to the tutors, I’ve received many different opinions on how I can tighten the project. Some are more doableContinue reading “Nxllur’s Paperwork 1”

Brain Worm: Cloaks

It seems that the most incessant phases I have are fashion related. I realised suddenly that one of my favourite things is designing and describing the outfits for my characters, and my whole fantasy kingdom sold dyed fabrics as its chief export. I really want a cloak. A brightly coloured one. I want to wearContinue reading “Brain Worm: Cloaks”

Very mild nsfw – I worked too hard on this not to blog about it now

Comïc I don’t usually commit to words and images so intimately together, but I saw these quite clearly in my head when I thought of the scene. I’ve drawn kisses (and, indeed, interactions in general) since time began, and I’m happy with this one. I think I’ve indicated where the force is coming from (pushingContinue reading “Very mild nsfw – I worked too hard on this not to blog about it now”

We are back, baby

I’ve spent a few days in -I’m not going to say despair, because that’s a bit dramatic, but we’re also not far off – about this project. When I spent hours downloading and figuring out Aero only for it to crash out multiple times on my iPad, I developed an ennui that’s taken a fewContinue reading “We are back, baby”

Lo Fi Printmaking: Relief Printmaking

Yesterday’s session was taking relief prints from cereal packet card. I used a scalpel, scissors and a ballpoint pen to draw and peel away a design of Antonia based on an ink sketch you will recognise from my I Wanna Be Handsome blog post. I was really interested in experimenting. I printed a few regularly,Continue reading “Lo Fi Printmaking: Relief Printmaking”
