For today's sketch i started on this character sketch that I plan to render up as vector art...

Spent a bit more time on yesterdays scribble...

This one is a bit of a work in progress. Want to try and push this a bit and spend some time on it.

Other than experimentiing with some new brushes, i'm not sure what I was thinking here.

Todays sketch. Tried some different brushes, looser technique and looked at trying to capture an environment and feel.

Something different to my usual approach. I normally seem to always put full characters into my illustrations which i think sometimes means that i lose the opportunity to really get a feel for the personality or emotion of the character.Hence i figured i'd try something differnt and zoom right in on the face.

Wanted to do my own homage to the great battles that spiderman fought with venom through my childhood induction to comic books.Wanted a real sensation of chaos and fury, with spittle and rubble whirling about the combatants. The agility of spidy and the freight train fury of venom.

Trying to make an effort this year to try and churn out one piece a day. Really want to try and devlop this loose style and see where I can take it.

Feeling pretty good about the new year, and enjoying this loose approach to my illustrations. I think with this piece it helps with the feral nature of the subject.Once again drawing puerly in photoshop and try to keep contrast up and linework loose.

Feels good to be back into the swing of things for 09. Made a resolve to do more energised pics this year with a looser feel to the linework and more sense of movement.Working completely in photoshop.

A new year begins

Hope everyone had a great christmas and new year break!

After a nice long break i'm back at work and back in action.

Thought i'd start my first personal sketch of the year off with something nice and loose. Feel so refreshed after spending a few weeks not drawing at all and having minimal interatcion with a computer. Here's hoping 2009 is a great year!
