Furniture

A bit of playing around for the project I'm working on at the moment.

I've thought about 'furniture' too much, now it doesn't feel like a real word anymore...

The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe

So, for my first self-negotiated project I designed a bookcover for one of my favourite ever books (this isn't the super-final colour adjusted version, because that is on my memory-stick, which has decided it does not want to connect to my laptop anymore...)!
A bit of a self-indulgent project, but it was lots of fun coming up with concepts and compositions :D

Infact, here are a few of the other (very) rough concepts, just to prove that I have been doing something these past two weeks!!

In the end, I can't resist a starry-sky-night-scene...

Slooowly

I've been a little bit productive, and done a small something for Illustration Friday, which I haven't done in however long. The theme is 'forward', and... well, they are moving forward... slowly.

Yeah right...

...When pugs fly.

Monkeyology

So, my information project is done and handed in, and I have 2 weeks of relative freedom, during which I have to get an idea of what projects I want to do next! This was our last set project ever (I think), from now on we'll have a lot more freedom, yay :o...

This project ended up as a set of three, double sided accordion booklets, which would come in a slipcase (the very bottom picture). I only illustrated one of the booklets, and there is a surprise mandrill in another one of the books (because I love their faces so much)! I like to imagine the monkeys on a long branch would make a nice wall decoration or something...

I feel like I developed my style quite a bit during this project as well... it's funny how drawing something different can make you look at the way you work in a shiny new way, hmmm.

Monkeys!

Sorry for the complete lack of updates lately, now Christmas break is over and I am back at uni hopefully I can get back to being productive again! 

These are some rough bits from my current project - it's information this time. As you can probably guess, I have chosen to do a project on monkeys.

Merry Christmas!

Whoops, haven't posted in a little while. Here's a Christmas doodle for now! :D

In the Attic

Here are the three finished colour spreads from my latest university project, where I illustrated the text 'In the Attic' by Hiawyn Oram. The cat picture is tall because it is a fold down page in the dummy book. This was a super fun project, and working traditionally made a nice change from all the photoshop I've been doing!

There are mice in this post!

Here are a few sketches from the uni project I've been working on right now. It's the children's book project, which is super fun, but also super-lots-of-work.

Happy Halloween!

Have some scary monsters. :D
