A picture of a man playing BASS. I used a photo I took in the summer as inspiration for this.

I really loved the pose I managed to capture in the original photo and also the feeling of passion and being in the moment that he seemed to exude.

I tried to bring out that sense of passion using hues of red and contrasting it with warmISH blue.

I’ve been improving my digital painting of late and wanted to get into more paintings of people whilst also explore the use of vibrant colours.

Here is one I’ve been working on of a young Brian May that I’m pretty pleased with. I’m sure people ask him if they can touch his hair a lot and I’m also pretty sure it’s the source of all his power but know one’s dared to shave him.

I also found this while looking for source images for this. Quite hilarious:    http://wethinkyoushould.blogspot.com/2010/06/brian-may-devil-worshipping.html

It’s been a long time, I shouldn’t have left you with out some scribbles to step to. What?

Anyway,  here are some drawings I did while relaxing back in Devon a while ago. The are labelled accordingly in case you have trouble working out what they are.

More fun to come soon!…

A small compilation of people sketches.

Here’s a doodle from a while back.

I still enjoy.

A sketch I did last summer out and about in Bristol.

This is an illustration i did based around Wheatabix in the style of a how-to guide. I do enjoy a good bowl and it occurred to me that i have a very methodical way of devouring it, so thought it would be fun to make this. And it was!

I made it into a very rustic and worn-looking article that seemed to be torn out of a newspaper from years ago. By the by that’s not how you spell Weetabix.

I’m hungry.

The first of many tales from the lounge.

Learning plus more learning. I’m not fully satisfied with this one but I think it’s important to become aware of what works and doesn’t work. This site is not going to be one full of perfect images because if i was concerned with that then nothing would get posted and that would be wak.

What i really wanted to capture here was the dynamic upward looking angle on the figures which isn’t really apparent due mostly to the ‘wood’ background texture I put in.  I also think that texture’s possibly not congruent enough with the rest of the picture.

This came from a photo that i took a few years ago. I really loved the perspective and lighting of the shot and thought it would make an awesome picture.

I decided to keep the background in monotone and have the Jenga pieces in colour and try and recreate that feeling of tension that comes with Jenga.
