merry christmas eve eve

Am going down to Cornwall tomorrow to spend christmas in a caravan with the fam! Thought I would post a christmas drawing I did a couple of days ago before I lose contact with civilisation!

Used this photo of my sister as reference. 

santas grotto

If anybody is in plymouth right now I suggest you go down to the Plymouth City Museum where they are have a santas grotto mainly decorated and designed by Plymouth Illustration students!! 

I Mostly did lots of snowflake painting and also had the idea of having 3D structures on the floor lit up by lights. These are some work in progress photos, I have yet to see it fully finished as I was going home for christmas!

240 final

Finally have finished everything, just tying up loose ends before our hand in tomorrow!

240 procrastination

So here are some photos of my workstation which has become home since we arent allowed in the studio :( Have actually gotten motivated to do drawing today! Spent an hour this morning drawing jess and then took photos and videos at trampolining to draw tomorrow. 

Bottom one is all the stages of me doing a cartwheel from a video! Took a lot longer than i though it would, cartwheels are more complicated than they look!

comic book

This is a project from the start of term where we had to re-draw part of a comic book changing the composition and making it our own style!

And a new image to add to my collection of flying things! Though the photoshop work is pretty terrible due to not being on the studio macs with a mouse!

Final Animation!

All done-finally, and one day to spare! Let me know what you think!

Also look out for me zooming into ashley potters face-was an accident I promise you but quite amusing all the same! 

stretches

Actually did some more 240 today! Plan is to do lots of figure drawing of people in stretches and poses, but this means finding models which makes it really easy to avoid making time to draw!! Did these using the reed pens we made the other day, i think they look a little Helen Oxenbury like just not as well rendered! 

^awesome book!^

rendering

Animation is rendering, time left-32 minutes. Just checking how it looks as I have finished the final scene (yay). All I have left to do is make a model look like she is walking for the first scene-not fun in after effects but I have a week so can hopefully make it work! Here are some screen grabs of the work in progress. 

too many many hands

No more drawing of hands for a while now I hope, am sick of looking at the things! 

jess

drawing out

A few drawings of people around uni for my first drawing out session this year. It seems my new style is drawing people without faces, this could be because it looks interesting (lies) or because I cant draw expressions that well and people always move before you can finish drawing them! 

flower monoprints

monoprint workshop

Spent all day wednesday in the print studio doing some experiments with my drawings. Some came out quite nicely, model looks pretty scary in all of them ;)
