This weekend I picked up a paintbrush for the first time in MONTHS. I had lost my desire to paint for a while, mainly because I felt like I was technically not where I wanted to be in terms of skill level. But then I had a moment of clarity. With my other painting I [...]

The first panda I’ve ever drawn. The most un-anatomically incorrect panda you’ll ever see!
This was for a project called European Panda, run by John Millerchip and Chris Nunn. People are invited to draw a Panda in any medium they like as long as it’s in black and white. Thought I’d jump on the band wagon [...]

Started to lay down some rough colours for my poster cause submission. I want to try something new with this one, different style of colouring. Maybe a little bit more expressive than usual with my strokes.

Got a commision to design a tattoo recently. Here’s a sketch of what I’ve done so far.
Will probably change a few things around, add more detail and add some more stuff down the bottom. Then tidied up.

Did this at ‘Come Draw Pictures’ Last night. Pretty happy with where its going, proportions are a bit out of whack. but pleased with the texture on the clothes. Can’t draw circles and don’t have a compass so I think I’ll do something crazy with the wheels. any thoughts?

Felt like a bit of practice drawing people, so I flipped through some back issues of Monster Children (Possibly my favourite Magazine ever. Check it out) and found this photo of Kamila Wladkya. So I tried to draw her.
