I can actually evidence the work I did for this one. The pictures are uploading on drive, so let’s fill this time productively. How was your day? Mine was fine. I had a bath, but I’m worried I overheated the shower unit trying to fill it. It would only be the landlord’s fault for givingContinue reading “Visual Diary – KIDNAPPED”

Visual Diary – Lyra Cassiopeia
Heir to the Cassiopeia Throne. Here is the art followed by some of my writing for this, which goes hand-in-hand. The practice is really less illustration and more “I witness my characters doing things in cinematic 4k technicolour in my head and record it any way I know how.” Gideon Clearsky is giving Hamish fromContinue reading “Visual Diary – Lyra Cassiopeia”
Visual Diary – Clothing Design
When I catch myself talking and singing out loud and bouncing around in my chair, that’s when I know I’m giddy with passion. Designing clothes has got me into such a good space recently. I just LOVE the pinterest and google research, and it’s really developing my drawing process. Before, I very often went straightContinue reading “Visual Diary – Clothing Design”
Visual Diary – Maidens Fair, Silks Bedecked
Drawing practice with charcoal, graphite pencil, fountain pen, ballpoint
Paddington – Storyboards
I suppose I post this with the caveat that if I end up signing an NDA, I’ll have to come back here and take my paddington content down. But with things as they stand, I want to keep a project thread, and so will post my storyboards. I had fun making this, which is whatContinue reading “Paddington – Storyboards”
Visual Diary – Hairstyles
This felt like a very important drawing. I felt like my hand and my brain were having a conversation again, and that something new is born, and I like it. Something is changing. Some understanding of planes on the face, specifically the eyes and bridge of the nose, is maturing. Depth and volume on theContinue reading “Visual Diary – Hairstyles”
Lo Fi Printmaking- Kitchen Litho
Phil has talked to me about kitchen litho before, so it was quite fun closure to get to do a workshop on it with him. A lot of the illustrators I’ve talked to that were in the workshop or have done this module didn’t like kitchen litho much at all. I really quite enjoyed theContinue reading “Lo Fi Printmaking- Kitchen Litho”
Visual Diary – It’d Really Mess with my Image.
I struggle terribly with nausea. Every day I have to play the “will I be sick in public” game, which is really not fun. I’m never sick, but this is of little comfort to me in the moment. I’ve promised myself twenty pounds from my savings if I’m ever really sick, which, again, is littleContinue reading “Visual Diary – It’d Really Mess with my Image.”
Visual Diary – Is Anyone Out There?
Whenever I listen to Data Loss by JKuch and Adam Tell, I always vividly see an animated music video of colourful legs wearing various laced shoes dancing, with fast cuts between the beats. The backgrounds change colour too. And in the second verse, I imagine the same images, but they’re increasingly interfered with and degradedContinue reading “Visual Diary – Is Anyone Out There?”
Lo Fi Printmaking – Print Tests
I wanted to run a quick print test, investigating whether a lino cut print would show up well on top of stencilled paint printing. I was dubious about this because right when I started lino printing years ago, I tried to hand print a two colour lino print. What I found was, the thickness ofContinue reading “Lo Fi Printmaking – Print Tests”
