bluetit feather play

Been playing at developing ways to create and layer imagery. This is the first of them, I'm thinking about making some prints of him

Drawing focusing on the light and shade on the leaves of the red tree. Didn't mean to use this mark making but it happened as i was drawing quite quickly when applying the colour.

This image was one of two created for a competition from Design21. The brief was to create a design for a plate centre around the theme of 'happiness'. I tried to avoid the cheese and focused on the idea of taking an optomistic view on life and seeing good things where alot of people only see things to be glum about.

A series of Nakedness

This and the following two are thanks to the two episodes (if you would call it that) of the life classes recently from channel 4. This was the first. It's all a bit scribbly but I hope you can see it's a middle aged man on his back?! Was also experimenting with some new pastel and charcoal pencils that were a present a little while ago. (I was rather afraid of them but I think they're lots of fun now).

Not exactly my favourite. It's the one I had the longest on, so naturally ended up overworking it with far too much colour and blending. Another lesson learned...

Another c4 life drawing. Some bits are all squiffy but i still rather like how it looks overall.
