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!

Bunnies.

Some cute little bunnies in preparation for Mother's Day!

Bumble Bee.

A little bumble bee flying around to brighten your day!

Drawn and coloured with Pentel colouring pencils and animated using 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!

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!

Drawn with fine liner graphic pen and digitally coloured in Photoshop.

Robin.

The second Christmas card design - a little robin! Again, painted with watercolour paints and placed on a digital background using Photoshop.

Reindeer.

I made some Christmas card designs today - this is my little reindeer! Both were painted with watercolour paints, scanned into the computer and placed on digital backgrounds.

Above & Below.

This Photoshop image was for a project at Uni, where the theme was 'Above & Below'. We were told to do a photo montage/collage and create something visually stunning. Possibly the most bizarre thing I've ever worked on!

Whales drawn with fine liner graphic pen and digitally altered on Photoshop.

Images taken from various sources and altered/edited in Photoshop.

Rez.

A little illustrated response to a Techno track for university.

Drawn with fine liner graphic pen and digitally coloured in Adobe Illustrator.

Market Square.

A little illustration to depict the Northampton market square.

Quick Sketches.

This is a quick sketch I drew of the outside shopping centre in Northampton, UK for the start of a university project.

Drawn in Promarker 'cool grey' and overlayed with fine liner graphic pen. Background digitally coloured on Photoshop.

Lush.

Job applications are usually incredibly tedious and boring - not Lush though, they asked for a 'creative cover letter or piece of artwork' and this is what I came up with! Let's just hope I get the job.
