Along the Avenue

A preview piece from a small project to get me back into comics.  

It is going to be pretty rough and brief.

Longest Art Commitment Ever

The past week I have been working on a picture for a friend.  I am using a mixture of 0.5mm and 1mm brushes to make it.  It has taken me longer than anything I have ever drawn, hopefully it should be done soon.

Below is a few close ups of the face.

Girl

Before I went to sleep I was going to draw a simple line art piece, then goaded by my pal Paul I decided to colour it.  I was going to pack it in on a number of occasions but he kept pushing me to finish it and not to scrap it, so I did.

If I ever needed a personal trainer I think he would have to be the man for the job.

Work in progress.

The final piece.

Looks much better as a thumbnail.

Draw Again Contest

On DeivantArt, a site that I do have a rather severe love hate relationship with, I was linked to a Meme that also was part of a contest.  Now whilst I do not expect to win, I thought it would be a good thing to do.

When I teach art I am always preaching that you should redraw pictures again and again if you want them to look good, so I thought it was time to give it a go.  I took two old pictures that I was proud of and re-drew them.

Desdemona 2010 vs 2012

A piece that I did for Halloween almost to the day two years ago, now re-drawn.

Ice Face 2008 vs 2012

My second ever acrylic painting drawn four years ago.  I still have it up in my flat despite the lack of technique as it has a spot in my heart.  However I thought this was a good reason to redraw it.
