Character modeling

Taking a break from drawing, and this was the result. I also hope to make a cuddly toy, with fabric that I have designed and screenprinted in the not so distant future.

For someone special

Nonsense

A small book of Edward Lear's Nonsense rhymes.

There Was an Old person Of Dutton....

There was an old person of Dutton

who's head was so small as a button

so to make it look big he purchased a wig

and rapidly rushed about Dutton

One of the great rhymes by Edward Lear. This is the product of being stuck on actual work, and drawing the first thing that came to mind...hence the hilariously sized arm. But now I hope to make a small book of about nine or ten of similar drawings.

Muddy

Focus- Carrots

Chicken Hutches

As part of development for my new book... long way to go.

Night Sky

A piece of experimentation and how to create the sky at night for my book. This is done using a mixture of ink, pens and chalk pastels.

Chickens Can't See In the Dark

A start to a new book, and to character development.

Toy Museum- Drawing Journal

Milk Bear

Another bear for the collection.

Bear and his Book

Another drawing based on the great old toys I saw at the Toy museum in Newcastle. This was a definite favorite.

Trumpet Man

An illustration of a toy car, influenced by my visit to the children's museum

Give me........

... because I deserve it,
I'm finally feeling on top of the dissertation, and I really want to draw something.

Miroslav Sasek

I have always been a big fan of Sasek's, and I particularly love his series of children's books about cities around the world. The image below is an ace image of Victoria street, one of my favorite streets in Edinburgh. I'm definately going to add some of these books to my Christmas wish list.

My annoying habit

A model illustration based on my annoying habit of twisting mine and the boyf's hair when I'm all sleepy and content.

Massive Hair

Unbalanced by massive hair.

First Book rough

So this is how far on I am with my Atlas book Adaptation of Ryan Braunds animation, but there are many alterations to be made. For a sneaky peak at few of the other pages don't hesitate to have a look at my flickr.

Bearded man in a bath

When life is a bit of a blur, after a bottle. Have a bath. This Bald, bearded man has. This scenario is inspired by words beginning with the letter B.
