One Legged Nightmare

I've just been looking at the work of one of the guys about to finish the masters course, Simon Wild. I love his work, take a look (It's nothing like the drawing below so don't be put off by it). Some of his influences are obvious but somehow he's made it his own. Below is a quick doodle to get into the spirit of play Simon seems to achieve so easily.


Still imaginary life.

More Geek Art

More experimentation.

Blending layers and cloud drawing experiment

First crack at drawing a sky. I got lots of ideas from here.

The Ladder Sequence

One of the sequences for my module. Mixture of pen, pencil, acrylic ink and gouache. I stopped doing green backrounds after the first few as white seemed to look much better.








Pencil work

A drawing from my second set of sequential images. All pencil work.

evil plants

10 minutes in photoshop.

Random Illustration

Quite abstract, had fun doing it.

Deviant Art

I've been looking at some images from deviant art (this one in particular) and this happened. The background was fun to do.

And yet another

Some sort of ancient stone in a hamlet.

Bash them out

Another one, did this as soon as I posted the last one, so less than 30 minutes. Why can't I do this with real art materials?

Geek art

Mixing colours is a pain, and certainly not easy or cheap to play with if you're trying to learn how they work. I'm gettin more and more frustrated with real painting and so rather than stop drawing I've caved in and started playing on the computer again. I tried ArtRage 2 for a while but just couldn't get anything I liked. Having not painted in Photoshop for months, I thought I'd give it another go. I set the brush mode to multiply and airbrushed this out in about 30 minutes.Yes, it is 'geek art', as a certain tutor would say, but it's fast and so much more fun to play with. When I start next semester I'm going to get back into painting digitally, although I also want to learn 'proper' painting too.
