Sketchbook Scans 2

More sketchbook pages, this time from the University of Brighton Open Day Poster project (shown below in an older post).

Sketchbook Scans 1

I've decided to post some of the preparatory sketchbook pages for a couple of projects I completed last term, just to provide a glimpse into my thought process and development of ideas. These were for the Credit Crunch poster project (shown in a previous post below). More recent work is on the way...

The Tower

Blargh. Here are some experimental drawings for my latest project, which focusses on sequence and narrative. The theme is "The Tower", and these images relate to chambers within a colossal alien relic. I was attempting to try out new ways of working, moving away from fineliner for a while, into the terrifying realm of charcoal and paint.

Back from the Dead

Wow, I can't believe it's been three months since I last posted something! Argh, that's shameful. Oh well, here are a couple of recent pieces, which are the final outcomes for the last two projects I've been set. The top one is based on the theme of the "credit crunch", and the bottom one is my submission for the University of Brighton open day poster.

Right, now that I'm back in Brighton and (supposedly) working hard again, I'll try to update this more often!

Concept Art Sketches

The pen drawings at the top were done most recently (yesterday and today), but the others are sketches I made over a year ago, and have only just unearthed (I thought they related fairly well with my recent scribbles). They're all set in some strange Art Deco/Aztec/Steampunk world that I haven't really developed beyond this...

Tone-tastic

Some relatively recent pencil drawings from my visual diary. Considering how far behind I am with it, there are unlikely to be any more like this for quite some time!

From top: Don S. Davis, Jack Black, Rafael Nadal.

Cryptids

Illustrations of various creatures belonging to 'Cryptozoology'. From top to bottom: Owlman of Mawnan, Fear Liath, Lizard Man of Scape Ore Swamp, Mothman.

I really should probably get round to doing the remaining borders at some point. And maybe do a couple more similar illustrations and make a zine out of them? We shall see...
