Wips

Well worked on this on and off for about a day, from sketch to full colour.

Personally I like the sketch more, but I wanted to have a go at doing something like this.

If it's not obvious, I have little idea how to draw backgrounds aha.

Website

So I've finally set up my own website! I still plan to use this blog for in progress works and sketches, I will be uploading more finished work to my site!

It is linked at both the top of the blog and in one of the sidebars. I'll work on getting a nice banner sorted out soon.

Did some more to the dragony beast. I'm not overly fond of it having wings.. so I might remove them and have a play with colours. But yes.. finished for now~

WIP

I recently purchased a book by John Howe depicting various representations of Dragons he's worked on- it was a pretty big inspiration, and I felt like drawing up a little reptilian beasty.

Monsters

I've always had a fascination with myths and legends since I was young, as such, I tend to draw mythical beasts and strange creatures when I'm at a loss of what to draw.

Artist Study

In my first year of University, we would have to do an artist study every week and I felt like trying it out again! Here are two studies of the same painting "Self Portrait with Beret and Turned-Up Collar". I concentrated on only the face, though in time I would like to do a study of the entire painting.

The First Image was made in Open Canvas:

The second image was made in Photoshop:

Both have very different outcomes!

Animal Characters

Been trying to go for a more 'cartoony' style of animal design. I started with a more realistic digital sketch, before making some more stylised sketches.
