FishBowl

I've been having fun drawing two of my characters as kids. It's fun trying to think about how someone would look as a kid and then trying to draw it. I has made me think back to a time when the challenge was to make a person not look deranged let alone like someone or a certain age. Oh it's nice to feel like you are learning :)
Probably need to practice a hell of a lot more at this age thing though. To make someone look older i would probably just add more lines on their face hahah...and that's not quite all there is to it i'm sure!

Anyway i thought i'd upload the sketch and lines from the two pieces i did of my sibling characters Bowl and Fish.
First them as kids...

Then as the age i mainly draw them at...

I named the pieces after two lines from a Noah and the Whale song i love.
I was messing around in photoshop so here they are finished with the titles included as (badly) arranged text...

You can see the actual finished pieces without text and bigger over on my deviant art.

Click each pic below to be taken there! :D

Hope you like them.

Summer Dreaming

Hi! It's been a busy week or so! What with craft fairs and me getting my new houses keys yesterday so i'm a tad excited. I'm also am off to a field this weekend for the local and spectacular 2000 Trees Festival! It's gonna be ace!
That aside, In my last post i mentioned a picnic me and my sis went on...so i thought id upload some of the sketchs i did. It was really lovely. I'm such a country bumpkin me :)

And such a lovely location and nice walk 10 minutes from our house...

I also took a pic yesterday of the crops down the lane next to our home where we walk our dogs. They really have gone such a beautiful colour i really wanted to capture it. I'm thinking of doing a picture with the colour scheme! haha.

And continuing along the country life theme, have a look at how my veg plot is doing :) Beetroots in no time!

Anyway, sorry for all the country side stuff! I'll be back with a bit on how the craft fair went and drawings!

We are Nowhere and it's Now W.I.P plus veg!

hello!

I've had time to get back to drawing for myself for a while now and it's ace :) Amongst other things i did a full length painting of 3 of my characters. Fish, Bowl and Alex.
This time i remembered to photograph the whole process! So here it is! I hope you find it interesting :)

First the sketch on some random paper...

then 'light-boxed' onto watercolour paper...

then finishing touches and it's done :)

On a random side note...I finally got round to sorting out and re-seeding my veg plot hahah! Me and my dad built it last year together and the crop was hilarious...lots of radishes no one really wanted and everything else was really small because i didn't want to thin them out. THIS YEAR WILL BE BETTER! :D

That's all guys :)

Have a great weekend!

Tree tales W.I.P and PIZZA

hello!
just a few pictures i took while i waited for things to dry when painting my reccent submission to deviantart that i'm entering into a competition :)

I started with three panels but ended up cutting one out because i didn't like it and didn't think it added much to my concept...

I was annoyed at first because my idea involved me drawing bikes which are tricky to draw!

and the pannel that got taken out...featuring a floating bike!! XD

 You can see the finished thing bigger HERE :)

 Also a pic i just took of what i'm doing right now...pointless head shots of characters out of boredom and cold pizza eating...at this hour?! yes. yes i am.

Have a good week :)

In the Forest Process

Hi Hi, 
I took a few pictures as i was doing this painting for my friends birthday present (she is a Harry Potter nut so hopefully you can guess who they are meant to be!)
maybe this is interesting to some people? i don't know heh.

You can see the finished painting bigger on my DeviantArt.

Anyway, here is a picture of how my desk looks when i paint, i think it's quite funny how untidy it looks, i assure you it is organised caos ;)
