The Lantern Festival

Great timing for me to get my camera! The lantern festival was this weekend so I went along with some friends to get some photos. These are my first ever photos with this camera, so bear with me. Still learning!

Just picked this up today, probably the best hangover cure. So excited, can’t wait for my lenses to arrive so I can get snapping! :D

Portrait – more progress!

This one will be slow progress, I’ve only got time to work on this one during my lunchbreak on my day job. Night times have got me pretty busy with another hush-hush project – not personal work though. Anyway, here’s a quick snap of what I’ve done. Tattoos are sketched on. I’m having a heap of trouble deciding what to do with this. Should I colour it? or keep it all pencil shading. Hmmm. What do you think?

Sorry for the lack of progress. Been pretty busy lately. Here’s a drawing!

Last Minutes with ODEN

This video is so cool. It’s pretty sad though – just a caution if you don’t want to look like you’re about to cry in front of your mates haha. Wonderful shots throughout and the quality of the video is rad. Great story and insight into the relationship with man’s best friend.

P.S. Can’t wait to get my own 7D :D

New drawing in progress- Pond themed?

So, doin a commission for a friend of mine. Didn’t really know what I was gonna do, so I just let my mind wander and put my pencil onto paper. Started drawing this weird frog guy and his little friend / pet. I hope it turns out good.

Feature on Disco Underworld

Hey everyone,

Got a feature / interview on an online magazine called Disco Underworld. Check it out! and please leave a comment because the articles with most comments get submitted for print :D

and P.S will put some new progress up soon!

Finished Poster

Finally finished this gig poster! Sore hands from colouring. Decided to go for a watered down desaturated colour scheme. Pink type is kinda crazy out there, but green and brown was getting lost in the background. Hmmm.

Poster Sketch Finished!

Now the long arduous road of colouring begins :-/ Not sure what kind of colour scheme to use yet. Hopefully it will dawn on me soon!

Happy New Years

Happy New Year everyone.

Hope you had a good holiday. Did you make any resolutions?

I’m going to try see my friends more, and also get off my backside and do more personal work. Who knows we can stick to resolutions but it’s a nice thought to try and become a better person every year.

Peace. See you soon.

New work underway

So started a new piece tonight.. Hardly draw people, so thought I would give it a crack. So here we are. First sketch, and more to come. I may end up leaving it a pencil drawing, and colouring the background. Would that look weird? Doesn’t in my head. Thoughts?

Solitude

Here’s a new one. No in progress shots unfortunately, it was a bit of a spur of the moment drawing. I can’t stop drawing wood textures at the moment, so you will probably see more trees popping up in drawings to come haha. I might colour this some time. water colour perhaps?

Deliverance

New Drawing! I’m sick of drawing scales. Turned out okay, not sure if it needs more or not. I’ll leave it as is for now.

Here is the rough thumbnail sketch I did before hand. I left the crane out. Not sure why but I guess it was kinda random in there.

Ring – Finished Sketch

Just finished this sketch yesterday evening, pretty happy with how it turned out. But now the question of ‘To colour or not to colour?’ has arrived.

Thoughts?
