Testing, Testing...

I created this little dude in order to test some After Effects techniques. I will add some animation soon.

Pencil pushing

I've been using a fine push pencil. I'm liking its sharpness. It forces me to use directional lines.

Thumbnails...small is cool

POWW! BLAMMM! WALLLOPPP!

A stormy sunday morning at Islington Boxing club.
I was asked by my friend Jonathan Klahr,
If I could do sketch a few bouts of boxing. He is making a short film, and wanted some images to use.
I knew this would be a great opportunity to get fluid with line.
These are the dodgy results...

Experimentation deux

I took a sketch I had previously done of my son sleeping in the car and painted over it, using water colour and tippex..

Experimentation

I've been experimenting lately. Nothing extravagant, just techniques illustrators have used for an age. Combining paint and pencil is my current favourite. It seems to compliment the way I draw.
At the top are two drawings from a trip to the park (We have had a sunny spell recently) The dots of watercolour were then added at home.
The other was more accidental. The original water colour wasn't accurate (the model was preoccupied) So correct it for my own sake, I went over in in pen to see where it had gone wrong. Thus creating experiment numero uno! more to come...
