Sketchbook dump!

Just thought I’d off load a couple of pics from the old sketchbook:

Wife’s Second Giraffe Pic

Second attempt at a giraffe for the wife’s birthday.  Coloured this time with pencils…

Illustration Friday – Rescue

Is it just me or is this something most of us have done??

My take on the Illustration Friday theme “Rescue”

Hope you like it – feedback?

Pencil sketch coloured in Photoshop

Illustration Friday – Expired

My Illustration Friday pic entitled: “Expired”

Had a few ideas for this theme, but felt this one came out the best and probably took the least time:

“Governor Tarkin.  I recognised your foul stench when I was brought on board.” Princess Leia – Star Wars (Episode IV: A New Hope). Shame he had to “expire” at the end of the film.  Such an amazing actor and performance.  Peter Cushing you will be missed.

Quick pencil sketch.  A bit of fun!

Illustration Friday – Brave (late)

My LATE entry to last week’s Illustration Friday – theme: Brave

Done with pencil and ink.  A WWI scene from the trenches.

Also did this quick sketch with pencil:

And finally an unfinished pencil/coloured pencil sketch:

Feels like such a long time since my last post that I had to make up for it.  Hope you like!

Illustration Friday – Perspective

This was the first image that came to mind for the theme “Perspective” for Illustration Friday…

Don’t think my scanner really did it justice (not saying it’s the best pic in the world…), but hope you like it. (PS – forgot to colour the number…bum!)

Done with coloured pencils/graphite pencil and ballpoint pen.

Monday Artday – Caricature

Did these two fellas…Hang on they’re me! Trying to get to grips with caricaturing and so please forgive me if they don’t look like the same guy or if they look like me (although who would know…?)

Monday Artday – Caricature

Sketchbook Pics

Been a busy week of sketching and painting.  Thought I’d throw up some of the sketches I’ve been doing.  A couple of pics are actually copies of pics by other artists and will highlight these. (apologies for the poor scans)

Above pic was just a doodle I started.  No idea who it is but seemed to work as a caricature piece.

This pic is a copy of Daniel from the Bible as drawn by Dennis Jones from his “See With Me Bible” – awesome illustrations in it take a look if you can!!

Again, top left image is an angel from the book of Daniel as drawn by Dennis Jones.  My character on the right didn’t quite live up to his standards – eyes weren’t quite right…

Top image is an image by Skottie Young – didn’t quite get it right, but looks ok.  My character below was one I was pleased with.

Don’t forget as well to have a look at Frank Rain by Eric Merced – Week Two

So there you have it.  More pics will be posted soon, remember all comments and critiques welcome!!

Monday Art Day – Invisible

Just did a quick sketch for the Monday Art Day entry themed “Invisible.”

Done with pencil and ink.

Some Sketchbook Images

Thought I’d throw these quick piccies up for you to comment on.

Done with HB pencil.  Some minor inking on second page.  Hope you enjoy looking at them and picking them apart…let me know.

Thanks
