'Ancient Yeti' was the theme of the day...

Sketchy Friday

Here we have some early sketches for guard designs. Big and bulky they are used for menial tasks like keeping watch and lifting things. They wear faceless masks partly out of protection and mostly to show their low status in life.

Stuntman Mike

Viewable over on my illustration page

Alien head 3

This used to be the stork of a banana mirrored... Also Ive set up a seperate art blog for purely illustrations over here

Nah Nah, Nah Nah, Nah Nah, Nah Nah...

Batman! OK early sketch this week but you'll find a 'bordered' version on a side blog im setting up which is specifically for my art and illustration work compared to the design based career I tend to lead

Traditional #9

This week Saturday Sketch is back! We have Bane. You have my permission to view... (see what I did there...)

book face

So today we got a random location for a book cover (just for fun) and some alien heads. With the heads I'll be producing more of these as they are pretty quick to develop once Ive collected the shots required. Scott Robertson recently advertised this process. Using a mirrored effect in a camera app you can knock out loads of symetrical designs. Give it a try...

Traditional #8

Its Ryan Gosling this week in Drive. I'd love to produce a full poster for this film. There's a few things that need to be improved on this one but its something...

Traditional #7

Location friday & Traditional #6

A few locations Ive been doing... EDIT: This should have posted friday but Ive found it still in the drafts. Dont like blogger sometimes. Also added this weeks Saturday Sketch. Not my best by a long shot. A bit rushed for time :(

Traditional #5

This weeks Saturday Sketch comes in the form of the Quo who I saw this weekend for the renuion tour. Absolutely the best gig Ive seem them do EVER!

Traditional #4

This week for #SaturdaySketch as it is now called we have Jules from Pulp Fiction. Enjoy! :)

Traditional #3

As I missed my saturday sketch here is the catch up. I did the original sketch but had a go at adding a little colour in post

Struzan inspired

Going through a big Drew Struzan influence at the mo. Using his familiar style to practice drawing people as its really not my strong point. This was also fun as it got me to use my Cintiq some more! :)

25 mins to do. Did a very quick line trace to save time on getting the proportions right as I wanted to focus on the shadows and light sources to bring the face to life rather than exact lines.

Traditional #2

So to follow up on Quint, here is Bill the Butcher from Gangs of New York. Possibly my favourite character in film since we hit the 2000s. Next week I'm thinking of a De Niro performance. So many to choose but I've always love him as Max Cady in Cape Fear...

Traditional

First time Ive added pencil to paper in years! Going to do more of these...
