Spanner - Study

Here is a quick lunchtime study of a spanner.  About 30 minutes.  Just wanted to get some still life practice in. 

Lets Play - Final

Lets Play-Final

This is the final steps for the image started here.  There was some movement of the figures and addition of some environment.  I did a few different colour schemes but this one was the most interesting and the one that got worked to a finish,  I suppose it is kind of fitting that this is completed just as the Olympic games ends.  The phrase that was repeated most from the interviewed athletes was hard work pays off.  I hope so!

Lets play draft 1

A while ago I did a character  concept  and shortly afterwards a beast.  I had figured they would exist together so I wanted to make an illustration with them both in action.  Above are the first stages of the illustration.  I started out in greyscale to work out as much detail as possible.

Garden oil painting-Final

Garden Oil Painting

This is an oil painting I did of a garden. Despite the miserable summer weather things are still growing. Had not done any painting in a while and it was good to get back to doing this.    The painting is done on MDF with gesso.  It is large, maybe 20" x 15".  Took about 9 hours.

I doodled this and thought it would be fun to complete so I kept working on it.  It is a bobob.
