BUT, before I start giving my drawings some direction, here's some more sketches! (sighs)


I am attempting to design a female steampunk character... I will work on this.



A different coloured paper?!

And a spot of life drawing. I drew my other half, working... (in sorf-of-realistic and cartoony versions)

Also, I have a plan for my next collection of drawings. I am going to illustrate some characters/scenes from Neil Gaiman's Neverwhere, which I'm reading at the minute.
I'm going to try and illustrate anything, actually. Books and general every-day observations.

This was all brought on by Tealin's fan art website, which is one of the first websites I found which influenced me to draw in a Disney-inspired style.

This is just something that will give my art some sort of focus and direction.

Sitting around the house for 24 hours a day isn't good for one's creative capacities!
I can not wait for September.

Completed!

I may have possibly gone a bit overboard with the airbrush, and it's quite inconsistent in how defined the shading is. But I like this one!

I was going to put a load of mottled tree roots around the bottom, but... I'm afraid I can't be bothered.

I have discovered the wonders of the airbrush. I've also read up on a few Imagine FX workshops about colour theory and shading.

Although I keep telling myself to start working on projects, I've realized that what's most important to me right now is developing my colouring skills. Practice practice practice!

I'm working on this at the moment. I'll get back to my other WIPs, like the Scientist one, now that I know a bit more about colouring, and am not just throwing about random brush strokes with increasing frustration at the final product...

(I know it's a bit over-the-top with the fabric folding at the minute)

I want to be this skilled at colouring, it's not fair!

A vaguely art-nouveau inspired lady (with tattoos). I drew this for my mother for mother's day; she's rather fond of Mucha. How lovely!

The first is an earlier version I scanned, to show how I went about refining it.

I think I'll colour this one soon.




And I came across this... it's just a draft, but I like it.
