Random face doodle





Just an in-between-project half finished doodle (or maybe completely finished? I'm yet to decide), in pen and ink

Long time no post - kill all squirrels, please.



Squirrels for my paper folding brief from uni. By god I got so sick of drawing the adorable little buggers.
Pencil sketches, loose ink outlines and superfast photoshop colouring.

Freak Show: Goat Girl semi-final

Basically, I don't like my final image of Goat Girl that much, and also it's up in the studio so I can't take a photo of it. This is the acrylic try-out.


The reason it's not too well finished is that I'm not that great at detail in the A4 format of this sketchbook, so the eyes (being the main point of the picture) are less visible than they should be.

Digital image manipulation project pt. 1


We essentially have to create a character and a scene then collaborate with someone else to bring their character into our scene/our character into their scene


My character! Not too much imagination, as I draw him ALL THE FREAKING TIME, when I can't think what else to draw.

Colour is from photoshop, with a nearly-broken Intuos3. No specific shading or directional light as yet, as putting that in now will probably destroy the look when he goes in the scene.

Freak show - circus and oddity poster type studies


I thought I'd never see the beauty in typography. Super wrong.

Ringling Brothers Present: The Astounding Goat Girl - Alive!

Freakshow project - Goat Girl


I'm playing more with the actual poster layouts, components, typefaces (all hand drawn, as I refuse to do this one digitally, being something of a 'Victoriana' project. This was a speedy trial in acrylics to see how elements could be laid out, what works, what doesn't etc. etc.

Doodle

Two separate doodles from random shapes in acrylic and pencil in my sketchbook that I combined for absolutely no reason at all. Quite like it, though.
