A Bear Hug

This is my most recent piece, it's a two page comic, more just a scene of something I'd like to develop further. I've always been interested in old myths and fairytales and I'm kind of creating my own ones here. I used liquid ink for the lines and Promarkers for colouring again.

I'll put some photos here of the process from pencil sketches through inking and colour testing too.

Latest goddess!

Eris, the goddess of chaos, strife and discord, who'll be the patron saint of my boyfriend's lifeboat!

Plant life/Parklife

Great news: I've joined the 21st century and have a smartphone so nothing's going to keep me down now! I drew this as a birthday card for my friend Jari, my plant sat patiently as a model. As you can see I use Promarkers, love them!

Also I've been going to hang out at my boyfriend's workplace like a creep and drawing strangers, good to get back on sketching and it's a nice challenge when people don't sit still. This guy did though hence the portrait is more accurate than the others.

Birthday card for Marc!

You can never guess which show he's into.

A sneaky peek to my exciting life!

I got challenged in social media to share photos about my everyday life and as a crafty girl who unfortunately owns none of the modern day gadgets I drew some instead.

Yes. I do sign writing as well.

A joyous surprise for the cleaner, first thing in the morning!

My main protein source. Life as a struggling artist, eh.

Ed totally knows when I need some motivational chocolate. Oh yes and he's never actually that still in the kitchen.

That's where my boyfriend lives in. Location changes.

Greek mythology creeps into everything!

I drew a birthday card for a friend and experimented with pens this time! To be fair I wouldn't have strayed away from my comfort zone if I had had my quill and ink at hand but I'm travelling at the moment and only had some pens with me. It was good though, I quite enjoyed them for change and was positively surprised with the outcome. The idea was to make an angel for good luck but I can't help thinking it looks a bit more like a sleepy harpy. I'll never be a good Christian.

Comeback!

Apologies for not updating the blog for ages! I had some right adventures in the last eight months but now since my life has calmed down a bit I thought I'd share some character designs I've done. These were for a film project but unfortunately I had to pull out for health reasons (Can anyone hear the smallest violin in the world playing?). I'll add a few more when I get the scanner sorted out!
