Stop Motion Video: The Making of the 'Infinity' Illustration

Here's a little stop motion video I put together that roughly shows the process and stages that I go through when colouring my work. I used pastel, pencil and paint all together in my work. I usually use the pastel for a base, the pencil for the detailed shading and the paint for the highlights.

I hope you enjoyed this little video and if I get a good response I'll make another for my next illustration! I know it skips quite a few steps, and next time I am going to take more photographs so it will be more indepth! 

New Illustration WIP: Stars, Galaxys, Nebulas

I'm working on a new piece of work this week, one that has been on my mind for a while. The theme is space and I am inspired by the beautiful nebula clouds images that you see of space. Here's a sneaky work in progress shot:

I have also gone back to my enlarged heads/doll like features for this one. Whilst I've enjoyed doing more realistic proportions for the Disney fanart, I want to go back to drawing my big-eyed beauties.

New Disney Themed Illustration

So I've started a project that I have always wanted to do, and that is drawing Disney characters in my own style. For this project I do not want to draw them like they are in their films, I want to give them a modern interpretation.

The first character I am going to draw is Belle, from the Disney movie Beauty and the Beast. She has always been my favourite character, probably because she is the most similar personality wise to myself out of all the Disney cast. So for now I'm going to leave you with a work in progress image, enjoy!

Baroque Inspired!!!

I finally have time to start my illustration work! I've had a piece that has been bouncing around in my head for a while, so it'll be the first one I draw to ease me back into drawing and get it out of my system. It'll include:

- My obsession with pastel hair.
- An overall pastel theme.
- Lavender eyelashes.
- Diamonds and pearls.

Here is where I am currently up to:

I update regularly on my Twitter, Facebook and Instagram. All the links should be down the side of the blog!
