Candy Apple.


This was so much fun. This is actually for a little Etsy business my friend and I have set up (early days, mind!) I drew the outline for this in pen and painted it by hand on Photoshop - so much blending went into this little piece but it definitely came out better than I expected.

Robert's Radio.


A little Robert's radio design I did for my Grandfather's birthday card - I really enjoyed playing around with scanning techniques and using texture samples. Something old made into something new and modern!

Babushka.


Re-vamped some autumnal babushka's the other day - absolutely addicted to making watery backgrounds on Photoshop!

Mono Printing.


Something a little different today, a bit of mono printing! I usually hate any form of printing but this was a nice change from drawing.
I used old bits of metal to create the shape of an anchor - black ink also showed up better in photos than other colours.

Anchor.


A remastered piece from a while back.

Constellations.


Another old line drawing with added colour. I decided against using any fleshy tones for the skin and just used tonal colours and shadowing. She looks like a concrete angel!

Seahorses.


A very old line drawing that I finally added some colour to! Adding colour to the jewels on the necklaces was tricky.

Perfume, Cameo, Teacup.

 A very vintage themed illustration. Not the sort of thing I would usually draw but I loved creating this! Alot of inspiration came from my grandmother and her wonderful style!

Gramophone GIF.


Another little animated GIF from last week - so simple but so much fun to create!
Drawn with a fine liner graphic pen and digitally coloured/animated using Photoshop.

Butterfly GIF.


Dipped my toes in the animation pool a few weeks ago for the first time ever! I had to start off small with just a few GIF's but really enjoyed them - I realise now animation is hard. Really bloody hard.

Crow.


A little Crow Lady. I had an evening away from University work - feels good to do my own work again!
