It's Mine, It's All Mine!

Medium: Photoshop

I did this digital painting recently. He ended up looking a little like Pinky ("Pinky and the Brain"), which wasn't intentional.

I also drew some poses for the blue Ape.

Medium: brush pen on paper

His model is inconsistent at the moment, because I'm still exploring his design. Once I finalize it I'll put these drawings on model.

Vector Illustrations

I just added some vector character illustrations to my gallery. Here's a little teaser.

Update

It's official, my website has finally been given the long overdue update it deserves. The animation page now has a demo reel on it, and the gallery contains 1 or 2 drawings.
Here's a teaser:

I'll be adding more work to it as the weeks progress. Here's my short 2d animation reel:

I'll also be updating it in a couple of weeks, there's a couple of things I need to add and finish... 'Going to bed, it's been a long day.

Dog Studies: 1 - 2 Minute Gesture Drawings

Below is a selection of quick gesture sketches of boxer dogs in motion, done in preparation for a project I'm working on. They were drawn from video reference, I spent about 1 - 2 minutes on each pose. I filled up lots of pages of these, but the ones below were the ones I liked best mainly because of the dynamic gestures. My goal was to draw the dog from as many angles as possible, performing as many actions as possible.

The last part of the exercise involved doing simplified anatomical overlays using colored pencils & tracing paper. These are not clinical studies, it was about finding the basic bones and muscle groups..

It was a great learning exercise.
