Neon splash

I've been meaning to try and do some digital painting (which I've never really been that good at). I thought I'd give it a go and one night I got sucked into a time vortex and did this. Of course I went with what I know, so this is another self-portrait (yes it's a bit narcissistic but some of the greatest artists were too :P ).


I used a reference photo of myself to do this, and also decided to draw on the colour scheme of a photo I found very interesting. Here's the reference photo for the colour (left), and the result. It's still a bit of a WIP, though I'm not sure where to go from here - open to critique!! Overall I'm pretty with what I've done on it so far.



Geometry

I've been doing a little study into simplifying people's forms into minimal geometric constructions. Mostly the face to begin with but also the body somewhat. Just playing around with style really.



Baked not fried WIP 1

I'm trying to put together some fun designs to submit to Threadless... these are still very much WIPs but this is some posing I've drawn for one of my ideas. 10 points if you get what this is a pun about.



Profile

New sketchbook, new self-portrait. Here's my first one in profile!


Jessica Rabbit


Ron Swanson


Figure drawing dump #06

Figure drawings - for progress reference. Still have a long way to go.


Hercules


Hercules from the Disney movie. From reference.


Lilo

Disney's Lilo. She was a really fun character to draw (from reference) - interesting stylisation and proportions.






The best boss I ever had


Immobile



It seems it's been more than three months since I last posted anything... time to get back on the wagon methinks. I'll start from where I left off...

These drawings are from a week after I had my appendix spontaneously removed. I was stuck at home for a week pretty much immobilized, and after a solid week of sitting in front of the TV I was all couch potatoed out. This is my best attempt at illustrating how it felt.
