Watercolouring a bit more

Yesterday’s water colour experiments, the character has all been hand painted and then inked. Because I’m not scanning these I had to do a little clean up so I used @procreate pocket and decided to add a background in digitally. First time I’ve used watercolour in this way but the plan is to complete a few more and see how confident I’m feeling. #watercolour #paint #portrait #cartoon #toon #doodle #sketch #illustration #illustrator #illustrated #doodle #pen #ink #pencil #art #poster #posterart #digitalart #digitalillustration #digital #procreate #pattern #print #style #design #colour #colours #painting #paintbrush

Painter….ish

I’ve had an evening of creatively playing with multiple media’s, starting with a pencil sketch then to paint and on to my comfort zone of digital again. I’m still interested in developing my skills and understanding of form and shape. This is a total free style and it’s certainly where I’m most comfortable!

Episode 3 of my Vlog

In this update I discuss the final stages of my illustration and some of the workflows I’ve used to create it.

Pen tool!

I feel very late to the game but luckily I stumbled upon a very informative blog post detailing the pen tools use, this was my first attempt and I wasn’t really following any kind of pattern just doodling and letting the image unfold. I will be making this part of my workflow.

First for a while!

I’ve finally completed the first of a few home projects to get the creative juices flowing again. It’s been a funny journey and I’ve enjoyed looking back at old techniques and trying to rethink and combine them with where my head is currently at.

The art work is by no means perfect but I’ve really had fun.

Colour study and composition

Unintentionally going back to my routes with this one, or at least what got me excited in the early days, had lots of fun colouring this and love the over all feel…. very cheerful!

Quick colour vlog

While i’m working on the illustration from my previous videos i thought i’d share some of my colouring techniques, hopefully you will find it interesting!

The second episode is up!

So still a little bit of an experiment but i now have my own youtube channel, the plan is to update it as frequently as possible while trying to develop self described projects and in turn progress my illustrations. Video below and please subscribe to the channel.
