Work in Progress - Session Nineteen

14 hours of circles = line work done!

Underwater Chatterboxes

I decided to try out Letraset's own brand of cartridge paper. I tested it by drawing these underwater creatures all talking but not really to each other. I loved that the paper stopped making the pens bleed everywhere but some of the colour went from vibrant to pastel once dried, which is just no good.

Christmas Critter

It's Christmas apparently...

20 Minutes Octopuses

20 minute drawings on my day off :3

Work in Progress - Session Fourteen

More detail added, dodgy camera settings, nearly time for the sky!

Planet of the Creatures

A two day draw challenge. A world full of creatures without a plant in sight.

New Pens

Before I use brand new pens and new shades of colour on my bigger pieces I like to test them out on some little doodles.

Work in Progress- Session Thirteen

The growing continues...

Work in progress Session Twelve

My news pens have arrived so it's time to get on with the big one.

Waste not want not.

The first picture is a piece my house mate started  (which was then screwed up and put in the bin.) The picture started out with only the outline of the octopus in the foreground and  a pencil outline of the arm on the far right. I added to the drawing to turn it into an mechanical underwater scene. The second image I started then abandoned and a friend added to it until it became a doodled bird. The last drawing I drew a pen outline doodle before giving it to my house mate to finish.

Then and Now

For every piece of work I finish there are always three or four abandoned pieces that I never quite got around to doing anything with. After having a little look through my old sketch books I found a few that I wanted to finish. Here is the first, a little world built on a rickety wooden tower.

An Octopus in the clouds

The result of an hour drawing challenge.

Tools Of The Trade

I've tried many different pens but the best I've found are Letraset's Pro Markers. They're solvent based and allow me to create large areas of block colour without those pesky felt pen lines.
