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”

Performance Project – Day Four
Three big things happened on this day: Firstly, I gave a big kick to the Instagram. I saw props and costumes being made in every colour of the rainbow, so I themed the feed with loads of posts featuring close ups that roved through the colour spectrum. We also had two more videos posted onContinue reading “Performance Project – Day Four”
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”

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 – Not today.
Time to shake and roll the dice on my every day game: am I ill? Am I just saying I’m ill because that means some of the pressure comes off my artwork, and it doesn’t represent me-at-my-best, rather – me-but-trust-me-I-can-make-better-than-this. Do I need an excuse to feed tutors when they look at the work IContinue reading “Visual Diary – Not today.”
Performance Project – Day Three
This day was productive, as we assigned work to each member of the team to sort out. Rory is directing the official production poster, Tia the tickets, Joe the stickers, Niamh the zine. I am sort of available to help and contribute to all of these things, and keep floating around taking videos. This videoContinue reading “Performance Project – Day Three”
Visual Diary – Sick Swords
I listened to a song called Enemies to Lovers while trying to drop off to sleep and got the most vivid visual of Mitzi and Antonia having a sword fight. And Mitzi holding a sword got me thinking about that DND universe Ben designed with me this year. And then I started redesigning the DNDContinue reading “Visual Diary – Sick Swords”
Lo-Fi Printmaking – Digital Experiments
Today Phil showed us some ways we can digitally manipulate images, and I tried to be brave. I find it hard to push myself to make new, interesting things: once something looks good I tend to pull my hands back as quickly as possible and let it be. But there’s an art and a courageContinue reading “Lo-Fi Printmaking – Digital Experiments”
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”
